Weakness (CWE)

CWE-636: Not Failing Securely

Class Draft

When the product encounters an error condition or failure, its design requires it to fall back to a state that is less secure than other options that are available, such as selecting the weakest encryption algorithm or using the most permissive access control restrictions.

How to prevent it (1 mitigation)

  1. Architecture and Design

    Subdivide and allocate resources and components so that a failure in one part does not affect the entire product.
