Injection vulnerabilities rank among the most critical and persistent issues in web application security. Identified as one of the OWASP Top 10 security risks, these vulnerabilities pose significant threats to organisations of all sizes, potentially leading to data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.
HTTP Parameter Pollution, or HPP, is a type of web security vulnerability where an attacker manipulates HTTP request parameters to bypass input validation, inject malicious payloads, or alter the intended behaviour of a web application. By injecting additional parameters or manipulating existing ones, attackers can trick the server into processing unintended actions. This form of attack can lead to a range of exploits, including SQL injections, cross-site scripting (XSS), and even unauthorised access.
In today’s interconnected world, your organisation’s success hinges on your cybersecurity posture and the resilience of your entire supply chain. A seemingly innocuous breach at a third-party vendor can become a backdoor into your critical systems, exposing sensitive data, disrupting operations, and eroding customer trust. This is why securing the supply chain is not just a matter of IT and Information Security but a strategic imperative for every C-Suite executive.
