CWE-1377: Inherent Predictability in Design Vulnerabilities

The vulnerabilities classified under CWE 1377 are related to inherent predictability in design in ICS/SCADA architectures for energy systems. These vulnerabilities create opportunities for compromise on a larger scale by exploiting the consistent design.

Summary

The vulnerabilities in this classification are connected to the category named "Inherent Predictability in Design" found in the SEI ETF's publication "Categories of Security Vulnerabilities in ICS." This publication was released in March 2022 and states that the consistent design present in ICS/SCADA architectures for energy systems and environments creates an opportunity for compromise on a larger scale by exploiting the inherent predictability in the design. It is important to note that the suggestions made by the report's "Nearest IT Neighbor" recommendations and the CWE team are included in this category. However, these relationships may be subject to change in future versions of CWE.
