CWEs ranked by how often they appear in real CVEs. The rationale describes how this control reduces exploitability of each weakness class.

CWE Name CVEs Why this control addresses it
CWE-400Uncontrolled Resource Consumption3,324Directly mitigates uncontrolled consumption by enforcing allocation limits/quotas that preserve availability for legitimate use.
CWE-770Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling1,979Implements the missing limits and throttling on resource allocation that this weakness describes.
CWE-799Improper Control of Interaction Frequency67Allocation policies inherently restrict interaction frequency, reducing the impact of excessive requests.
CWE-405Asymmetric Resource Consumption (Amplification)40Limits amplification effects by controlling how resources are allocated under high-volume or recursive load.
CWE-410Insufficient Resource Pool19Ensures a managed resource pool is maintained rather than allowing exhaustion by any single consumer.
