CWE-216: DEPRECATED: Containment Errors (Container Errors)

What is DEPRECATED: Containment Errors (Container Errors)?

• Overview:

• CWE-216 was originally intended to address containment errors in software, but it has been deprecated because it was not effective as a standalone weakness and was more like a category. The term "container" was ambiguous and understood differently by developers, leading to confusion.

• Exploitation Methods:

• Since CWE-216 is deprecated, it’s not associated with specific exploitation methods.
• Originally, it might have referred to generic errors in how data or functionality was contained, but no specific attack patterns are defined.

• Security Impact:

• No direct consequences are associated with CWE-216 due to its deprecation and lack of specificity.
• Potential cascading effects are not applicable as the entry is no longer active.
• Business impact is negligible due to the obsolete status of this CWE entry.

• Prevention Guidelines:

• No specific code-level fixes are relevant due to the deprecation of this entry.
• Security best practices for containment should generally involve clear definitions and consistent handling of data and resources.
• Recommended tools and frameworks would depend on the specific type of containment or containerization being used, not specifically aligned with CWE-216.
