Common Weakness Enumeration
CWE-591
AllowedSensitive Data Storage in Improperly Locked Memory
Abstraction: Variant · Status: Draft
The product stores sensitive data in memory that is not locked, or that has been incorrectly locked, which might cause the memory to be written to swap files on disk by the virtual memory manager. This can make the data more accessible to external actors.
106 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.
