CWE-441: Unintended Proxy or Intermediary ('Confused Deputy')
Weakness Summary
The product receives a request, message, or directive from an upstream component, but the product does not sufficiently preserve the original source of the request before forwarding the request to an external actor that is outside of the product's control sphere. This causes the product to appear to be the source of the request, leading it to act as a proxy or other intermediary between the upstream component and the external actor.

Atomicorp Research Context
Atomicorp has published CVE-specific research observations associated with this weakness category. Each linked CVE page states whether the tested request was detected or blocked and is the authoritative customer-facing finding.
The CVEs and rules shown here are selected published examples, not a complete list of Atomicorp protections. If a CWE, CVE, or rule is absent from this page, no conclusion should be drawn about whether Atomicorp protects against that weakness or attack method.
A CWE describes a class of software weakness. It does not identify one exploit request, and association with a CWE does not mean that every vulnerability or exploitation path in that category is detected or blocked.
