2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) CWE-918

by

At its core, SSRF arises when an attacker can manipulate a server to send HTTP requests to arbitrary destinations, often bypassing firewalls, access controls, and other security measures. The vulnerability stems from improper validation of user-supplied URLs or inputs that dictate server-side request behaviour.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Improper Input Validation (CWE-20)

by

Improper input validation occurs when a software application fails to verify that input received is within the expected range, format, type, or value before processing. This weakness paves the way for a variety of security exploits, including injection attacks, buffer overflows, and data manipulation, which can compromise application functionality and user data.
