"""AppSecBench vulnerability catalog.
Each entry is an ORIGINAL archetype definition: the canonical CWE, the OWASP
Top 10 (2021) and OWASP API Security (2023) mapping, the OWASP LLM Top 10
(2025) mapping where relevant, the high-level category, representative public
references (OWASP/CWE/PortSwigger/OWASP ASVS — no copyrighted code), and a
human-readable description template that the generator fills in per case.
Nothing here is copied from an existing benchmark; the code snippets are
authored from scratch in `generators.py`.
