3. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
vulnerability
security vulnerability

    A bug or feature of a system that exposes it to
   possible attack, a flaw in the system's security.

   A common example of a vulnerability due to a bug is buffer
   overrun, where carefully constructed input can allow an
   attacker to insert arbitrary code into a running program and
   have it executed.

   The most serious vulnerabilities are those in network
   software, especially if they exploit traffic that is allowed
   through the firewall like HTTP, for example exploiting a
   bug in a web browser.

   The Open Source Vulnerability Database lists many
   vulnerabilities.
