Weaknesses in this category are related to the design and architecture of a system's authorization components. Frequently these deal with enforcing that agents have the required permissions before performing certain operations, such as modifying data. The weaknesses in this category could lead to a degredation of quality of the authorization capability if they are not addressed when designing or implementing a secure architecture.
