El Instituto Nacional de Estándares y Tecnología (NIST) de los Estados Unidos ha publicado “2022 Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE™) Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses”.
Se trata de las 25 debilidades de software más peligrosas que pueden conducir a vulnerabilidades que los ciberdelincuentes pueden intentar explotar para tomar el control total de un sistema, robar datos, o evitar que las aplicaciones funcionen. Por lo mismo, su conocimiento ayudará a mitigar el riesgo asociado.
La siguiente es la lista de las debilidades más peligrosas de software de 2022:
