In-Depth Analysis of OWASP Top 10 for Mobile Apps: M1 – Improper Platform Usage

by

Improper platform usage refers to the failure to properly use security features provided by mobile platforms, such as Android and iOS. Both operating systems offer robust security mechanisms that, when properly utilised, help safeguard mobile apps from common attack vectors. However, improper configuration or ignoring these features can lead to critical vulnerabilities, which can be easily exploited by attackers.

When testing mobile apps, penetration testers must focus on how these platform-specific features are being leveraged. Whether it’s improper handling of APIs, weak authentication methods, or ineffective data storage solutions, improper platform usage can leave significant security gaps in an otherwise well-constructed app.

In-Depth Analysis of SANS Top 25 CWE-94: JSON Injection and Its Implications for Penetration Testers

by

**JSON Injection** is a form of **injection vulnerability** that occurs when an application improperly handles user input within a JSON object. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is widely used for data exchange between web clients and servers. When applications fail to validate or sanitize user input before incorporating it into a JSON object, attackers can inject malicious data, manipulating the application’s behaviour.

JSON Injection primarily targets the integrity of the data being exchanged, potentially altering application logic, bypassing authentication, or even leading to more severe attacks like remote code execution. It is particularly dangerous in systems that use JSON for configuration files, user inputs, or data transfer, which is the case in many modern web applications.

Remote Code Execution (RCE) Vulnerabilities: A Critical Threat to Modern Enterprises

by

Remote Code Execution (RCE) refers to the ability of an attacker to execute malicious code on a target system from a remote location. This can occur through exploiting vulnerabilities in software applications, web servers, or network protocols. RCE vulnerabilities are particularly dangerous because they can allow attackers to bypass traditional security measures, granting them full control over compromised systems. Once an RCE exploit is successful, attackers can run commands, install malware, steal sensitive data, and even alter business-critical applications.
