The Common Weakness Enumerations (CWE) is a category system for hardware and software weakness and
vulnerabilities with the goal of understanding flaws.
The declaration and the information about the CWE are on https://cwe.mitre.org/ available.
The CWEs help to assess a CVE and evaluate it for the system.
NVD, Redhat and curl are supported as data source for the CWE number.
The cve_cwe table has the CVE number, the CWE and the data source.

This isn't a bad idea, but are you actually needing it for something? It's a lot of data to store and spit out unless there's a clear user need and I'm not sure that's true here.

No response, so I'm going to go ahead and close this. If you (or anyone else reading this later!) need the CWE data in the cve-bin-tool reports, though, please open an issue so we can talk about storage requirements and download times and whether it should be on by default or in some kind of extended report generation option or what. It may be more feasible after some of our planned architecture changes than it is right now.
