The chart below shows the most common weaknesses found in vulnerabilities across the Erlang ecosystem. Understanding which weakness types recur most often helps library authors and application developers focus their security efforts where they matter most.

Each CVE is mapped to its CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) using the MITRE CWE hierarchy. A slice's count includes every CVE reachable anywhere below it in the hierarchy, not just CVEs assigned that exact CWE — click a slice or legend row to drill into its direct children and see the same breakdown one level down.

Invocation of a Control Element at an Unnecessarily Deep Horizontal Layer CWE-1054 CWE-1054 at MITRE

The code at one architectural layer invokes code that resides at a deeper layer than the adjacent layer, i.e., the invocation skips at least one layer, and the invoked code is not part of a vertical utility layer that can be referenced from any horizontal layer.

No published CVEs reference this weakness.
