Description
I'd suggest to split MASWE-0083 between user-managed input (text) CWE-345: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity, which relays to human fail or injection, and system-managed input (QR, URL, clipboard) CWE-348: Use of Less Trusted Source, related to external attacks where the data may be tampered without user knowing it.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing MASWE-0083 entry and the linked MASTG discussion, then compare the proposed CWE-345 and CWE-348 mappings. Done means the weakness is clearly separated into user-managed text input and system-managed QR, URL, or clipboard input with agreed descriptions and references.
