Grouping entries organize the catalogue and should not be used to map the root cause of a vulnerability.

Mapping guidance

This CWE has been deprecated. It is also a Category. Using categories for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. Categories are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.

See the summary, which might have suggestions for other CWEs to consider.
