Understanding CWE-79: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in 2024 – A Strategic Guide for Software Architects and C-Suite Executives

At its core, XSS exploits the trust a user places in a web application. By manipulating input fields, URLs, or other interactive elements, attackers can introduce scripts that execute commands, steal sensitive information, or alter website functionality.

OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks – 2023: API7:2023 – Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an API fetches a remote resource using a user-supplied Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) without adequate validation. This oversight allows attackers to manipulate the request, coercing the server to interact with unintended destinations. These attacks bypass traditional network controls like firewalls and VPNs, making them particularly insidious.

OWASP Top 10 for Mobile Apps: M5 – Insufficient Cryptography

Cryptography, at its core, is the practice of securing communication and data through the use of algorithms and keys. For mobile apps, cryptography plays a crucial role in securing sensitive data, ensuring privacy, and maintaining the integrity of user interactions. However, *insufficient cryptography* occurs when an app fails to implement cryptographic algorithms or methods correctly, resulting in data being exposed or vulnerable to unauthorised access.

The issue of insufficient cryptography is particularly critical in mobile applications because of the increasing amount of sensitive information that these apps handle, such as financial data, personal identification information, passwords, and private conversations. Insufficient cryptography in this context means that sensitive data is not encrypted properly, or that weak or deprecated encryption methods are used, leaving the data open to attackers who can intercept, manipulate, or steal it.

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.
