Ensuring Trust Through Correct Authorisation: A Comprehensive Examination of CWE-863

CWE-863: Incorrect Authorisation occurs when an application fails to enforce correct authorisation measures, allowing unauthorised users or processes to access resources, perform operations, or retrieve data that should be off-limits. It is sometimes conflated with authentication flaws, but the essence of CWE-863 lies in improper or missing checks that would otherwise confirm if a user has the necessary permissions to perform a specific action.
From a technical standpoint, one might imagine an application employing robust identity verification (authentication) only to overlook critical checks about what a user is allowed to do once logged in (authorisation). This oversight can be the gateway to data leaks, privilege escalation, or even sabotage of core business processes.

Asset Deals in Mergers and Acquisitions: A Comprehensive Guide for C-Level Executives

An asset deal occurs when a buyer acquires specific assets and liabilities of a company rather than purchasing the company’s stock. This type of transaction allows the buyer to choose which assets they want and, in some cases, which liabilities they are willing to assume. Asset deals are often attractive to buyers looking to avoid potential risks associated with a company’s existing liabilities, contingent liabilities, and other historical issues that could impact future performance.

Arm’s Length Transactions: A Strategic Guide for C-Suite Executives

An arm’s length transaction represents a business deal in which buyers and sellers operate independently and have no pre-existing relationship, ensuring that neither party exerts undue influence over the other. This concept is widely respected across industries as it aims to create a level playing field, facilitating fair market value and transparency. For C-suite executives, understanding arm’s length transactions is fundamental, as these transactions protect the business’s integrity and foster trust among stakeholders.

Anti-Dilution Provisions in Convertible Preferred Stock: Safeguarding Ownership for Investors

Anti-dilution provisions are contractual protections that safeguard investors’ proportional ownership in a company. Specifically, they are clauses often embedded in convertible preferred stock agreements. In practice, these provisions allow investors to avoid dilution of their ownership percentage if the company issues new shares at a lower price than what the investors initially paid.
