一句话：分析 CWE/CVE 中隐私相关漏洞覆盖不足，并提出 11 个新的通用隐私弱点以补充 CWE。
数字时代个人数据与可追踪活动常被软件应用收集、处理和传输，隐私攻击往往利用软件漏洞实施。CWE 和 CVE 是软件工程师理解和预防公开漏洞的主要来源，但作者研究发现二者对隐私相关漏洞的覆盖极低：CWE 全部 922 个弱点中仅 4.45% 与隐私相关，CVE 迄今 156,537 个漏洞中仅 0.1% 与隐私相关，且只覆盖现有隐私软件工程研究、隐私法规与框架及相关权威组织所提出威胁领域的一小部分。基于该研究生成的可操作洞见，论文向 CWE 引入 11 个新的通用隐私弱点，使 CWE 同时成为安全与隐私漏洞的参考来源。
In this digital era, our privacy is under constant threat as our personal data and traceable online/offline activities are frequently collected, processed and transferred by many software applications. Privacy attacks are often formed by exploiting vulnerabilities found in those software applications. The Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) systems are currently the main sources that software engineers rely on for understanding and preventing publicly disclosed software vulnerabilities. However, our study on all 922 weaknesses in the CWE and 156,537 vulnerabilities registered in the CVE to date has found a very small coverage of privacy-related vulnerabilities in both systems, only 4.45% in CWE and 0.1% in CVE. These also cover only a small number of areas of privacy threats that have been raised in existing privacy software engineering research, privacy regulations and frameworks, and relevant reputable organisations. The actionable insights generated from our study led to the introduction of 11 new common privacy weaknesses to supplement the CWE system, making it become a source for both security and privacy vulnerabilities.
