SQL Injection allows attackers to manipulate databases by inserting malicious SQL code, potentially exposing or altering sensitive data.
XSS vulnerabilities let attackers inject scripts into web pages viewed by others, leading to data theft, session hijacking, and other malicious activities.
Buffer Overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer than it can hold, potentially allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or crash the system
Weak Authentication means using easily guessable or default passwords, which makes it easier for attackers to gain unauthorized access to systems.
Insecure APIs can expose systems to attacks by providing insufficient validation or security, allowing unauthorized access and data breaches.
Security Misconfigurations happen when security settings are not implemented correctly, leaving systems vulnerable to attacks
Without proper logging and monitoring, security breaches can go undetected, allowing attackers to persist in a system undetected.
Unpatched Software often contains known vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit if the software is not regularly updated with security patches.
Phishing Attacks trick users into providing sensitive information or downloading malicious software through deceptive emails or messages
Insider Threats occur when trusted individuals within an organization exploit their access to harm the organization’s data or systems.
