Ah at last a good solid collaborative effort to identify and categorise software vulnerabilities with a solid taxonomy and good organisation!<\/p>\n
It seems very well written too in terms that anyone familiar with software development or programming can understand.<\/p>\n
Fortify Software, which identifies and remediates software vulnerabilities, has contributed its collection of 115 types of software security errors to the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), a six-year old non-profit with almost 5,000 members whose “mission is to find and fight the causes of insecure software.”<\/p>\n
The work will become part of OWASP’s Honeycomb Project.<\/p>\n
This is a very good thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The OWASP Honeycomb project.<\/a><\/p>\n
In the Honeycomb project, OWASP is assembling the most comprehensive and integrated guide ever attempted to the fundamental building blocks of application security (principles, threats, attacks, vulnerabilities, and countermeasures) through collaborative community efforts.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You can find the taxonomy itself here:<\/p>\n
