ISC2 Certified Secure Software Lifecycle Professional (CSSLP) Practice Question
A development team is seeking a short, community-driven document that is refreshed every few years and ranks the most critical security risks specifically facing web applications, so they can focus their secure-coding training. Which public vulnerability resource should they consult first?
MITRE Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) master list
SANS Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Errors
Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database
The OWASP Top 10 is a periodically updated, consensus-based list that ranks the ten most critical web application security risks. It is designed as an awareness document to help developers and security professionals prioritize secure-coding and testing efforts for web software. In contrast, the MITRE CWE catalog enumerates thousands of generic weakness types without ranking them, the SANS Top 25 highlights common dangerous software errors across all domains rather than exclusively web apps, and the CVE database is a collection of individual vulnerability entries, not a prioritized guidance list. Therefore, the OWASP Top 10 best matches the team's stated need.
