A one-class anomaly detector trained on normal behavior of CVEs sharing a CWE class can generalise to unseen CVEs within the same class, but effectiveness varies by CWE family. The CWE-307 detector achieves F1 = 0.6976 at 5% false positive rate, while CWE-89 and CWE-434 perform poorly, with F1 ≤ 0.21. Cross-CVE transfer is direction-dependent and driven more by the breadth of the source normal profile than the CWE category.
