2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute (HSSEDI) have released the 2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses. This list highlights the most critical software vulnerabilities that are frequently exploited by adversaries. It is crucial for organizations to review this list and use it to inform their software security strategies. Addressing these weaknesses is key to CISA's Secure by Design and Secure by Demand initiatives, which aim to promote secure technology solutions. Secure by Design encourages software manufacturers to implement security best practices throughout the development process, while Secure by Demand provides guidelines for organizations to drive security improvements when procuring software. Stakeholders, including developers, security teams, and procurement and risk managers, should incorporate the CWE Top 25 into their practices to enhance overall resilience.
