OWASP Top 10 for Mobile Apps: M8 – Code Tampering

Code tampering occurs when an attacker manipulates or alters the source code, binaries, or execution flow of a mobile application. This tampering can take various forms, including modifying the code to bypass security checks, reverse engineering to steal intellectual property, or injecting malicious code to steal sensitive data. Mobile apps, which often handle sensitive information like personal data, payment details, and corporate data, are prime targets for these attacks.

OWASP Top 10 for Mobile Apps: M7 – Client Code Quality

Client code quality refers to the soundness, reliability, and maintainability of the code executed on mobile devices. The “M7” designation in the OWASP Top 10 highlights vulnerabilities resulting from poorly written client-side code. These vulnerabilities can stem from inadequate input validation, insecure coding practices, or the use of deprecated libraries.

Insecure-Authorisation-KrishnaG-CEO

OWASP Top 10 for Mobile Apps: M6 – Insecure Authorisation

Insecure authorisation occurs when an application fails to properly enforce access control mechanisms, allowing unauthorised users or attackers to access resources, perform actions, or manipulate data without appropriate permissions. Unlike authentication, which verifies a user’s identity, authorisation determines what an authenticated user is allowed to do.

Insecure-Communication-KrishnaG-CEO

OWASP Top 10: M3 – Insecure Communication

Insecure communication occurs when sensitive data is transmitted without adequate encryption or protective measures. This vulnerability enables attackers to intercept, alter, or steal data during transmission, exposing organisations to financial losses, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.
