This is the same in the 2021 Top 10 list:
As far as I can tell, the title of the CWE was this earlier, see the CWE 201 site back in 2020 July, and it was changed there and not followed up in the OWASP list.

Yup, I’m aware of that. That’s why I updated it in 2025, not 2021.
Thank you, Judait. So I’ll keep it open specifically for 2025 docs
@JuditKnoll Should I update it also for 2021?

I found it strange, and just realized it, and thought, I'll share it. I'm not sure whether it should be updated in 2021, it depends on when it was modified. IMO the leaders of OWASP Top 10 should decide about this.
