STRIDE, LINDDUN, CAPEC and CWE

Of the 6 entries here, STRIDE fits 3 cleanly and 2 only loosely, and none of its categories applies to 1. LINDDUN fits 5 cleanly, and has no category for 1. CAPEC 3.9 describes 3 directly and has nothing for 3. CWE 5.0 names the weakness directly for 2, has only a broader weakness for 3 and has nothing for 1. None of them is missed by all four frameworks. The table below gives the mapping entry by entry, with the names of the CAPEC patterns and CWE weaknesses; what the mapping shows across the whole taxonomy is in Mapping the Care Assistant Threat Taxonomy to STRIDE, LINDDUN, CAPEC and CWE. The Excel, SKOS and STIX downloads carry the same mapping as text.
