Grouping Prohibited

CERT C Secure Coding Standard (2008) Chapter 12 - Signals (SIG)

Status: Obsolete

Weaknesses in this category are related to the rules and recommendations in the Signals (SIG) chapter of the CERT C Secure Coding Standard (2008).

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

Mapping guidance

This entry is a Grouping. Using groupings for mapping has been discouraged since 2019. They are informal organizational groupings of weaknesses that can help CWE users with data aggregation, navigation, and browsing. However, they are not weaknesses in themselves.
