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.

Declaration of Catch for Generic Exception CWE-396 CWE-396 at MITRE

Catching overly broad exceptions promotes complex error handling code that is more likely to contain security vulnerabilities.

No published CVEs reference this weakness.
