OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten: K01:2022 – Insecure Workload Configurations

by

Kubernetes has revolutionised container orchestration, providing software developers and architects with a scalable and efficient way to manage workloads. However, its complexity also introduces a range of security vulnerabilities, as highlighted by the OWASP Kubernetes Top Ten 2022. The first entry, K01:2022 – Insecure Workload Configurations, is a critical concern, as improperly configured workloads can expose applications to exploitation, data breaches, and unauthorised access.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Improper Privilege Management (CWE-269)

by

Improper Privilege Management, as classified under CWE-269, occurs when a software application improperly manages or enforces access control policies, allowing unauthorised users to perform restricted actions. This weakness can lead to severe consequences, such as data breaches, privilege escalation, and compromise of system integrity.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Improper Neutralisation of Special Elements used in a Command (‘Command Injection’) CWE-77

by

CWE-77 refers to the improper neutralisation of special elements used in a command. These special elements, when inadequately sanitised, allow attackers to inject malicious commands that the system interprets and executes. This vulnerability commonly appears in applications that dynamically construct system commands based on user inputs.

2024 CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses: Missing Authorisation (CWE-862)

by

Missing Authorisation, identified by CWE-862, refers to a software weakness where an application fails to verify if a user is permitted to access specific resources or perform certain actions. While authentication establishes identity, authorisation ensures that the authenticated user has the necessary permissions. When authorisation is missing, attackers can exploit this oversight to access sensitive data, perform unauthorised transactions, or disrupt services.

How Out-of-Bounds Write Vulnerabilities (CWE-787) Can Compromise Your Code — And Your Business

by

Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities (CWE-787) are among the most dangerous weaknesses in software development. If left unchecked, these vulnerabilities can have significant repercussions, including data corruption, service outages, and, in the worst cases, remote code execution.

An out-of-bounds write occurs when a program writes data outside the bounds of allocated memory, causing code compromise in the software.
