CWE Mapping Notes
Map the root cause
Prefer the most specific CWE that explains the defect, not just the exploit technique or product symptom.
Separate source types
Keep official CVE/NVD mappings distinct from reviewed or inferred Glexia analysis.
Turn findings into controls
Use CWE patterns to improve secure design checklists, test cases, code review prompts, and executive reporting.
