weak points
Flaws to exploit
Weak points are vulnerabilities or areas of deficiency—places where something or someone can be challenged, attacked, or improved.
A fortress has weak points in its defenses; an argument has weak points in its logic; a person has weak points in their character or knowledge.
The defense exploited the weak points in the prosecution's case.
To find someone's weak points is to discover what they're susceptible to—flattery, criticism, temptation.
