Category: SFP Secondary Cluster: Life Cycle
Incomplete
Summary
This category identifies Software Fault Patterns (SFPs) within the Life Cycle cluster.
Membership
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| CWE-664 | Improper Control of a Resource Through its Lifetime | This vulnerability occurs when software fails to properly manage a resource throughout its entire lifecycle—from creation and active use to its final release or destruction. |
| CWE-666 | Operation on Resource in Wrong Phase of Lifetime | This vulnerability occurs when software interacts with a resource—like memory, a file, or a network connection—at an incorrect stage of its existence, leading to crashes, data corruption, or unpredictable behavior. |
| CWE-675 | Multiple Operations on Resource in Single-Operation Context | This vulnerability occurs when a software component performs the same action on a resource multiple times, even though the action is designed to be executed only once. This redundant execution can lead to unintended side effects, data corruption, or resource exhaustion. |
| CWE-694 | Use of Multiple Resources with Duplicate Identifier | This vulnerability occurs when a system uses multiple resources that can share the same identifier, even though the application logic requires each identifier to be unique. |
| CWE-888 | Software Fault Pattern (SFP) Clusters | CWE identifiers in this view are associated with clusters of Software Fault Patterns (SFPs). |

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