The Homeland Security Systems Engineering and Development Institute, sponsored by CISA and operated by MITRE, has released the 2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses list. The Top 25 uses data from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) to compile the most frequent and critical errors that can lead to serious vulnerabilities in software. CISA encourages users and administrators to review the Top 25 list and evaluate recommended mitigations to determine those most suitable to adopt. 

CISA says that addressing these weaknesses is integral to CISA’s Secure by Design and Secure by Demand initiatives which advocate for building and procuring secure technology solutions. Access the full report at MITRE.
