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

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.

OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks – 2023: API4:2023 – Unrestricted Resource Consumption

Unrestricted resource consumption occurs when an API allows users or clients to request resources without proper limits or controls. Every API request consumes a certain amount of resources such as CPU cycles, memory, network bandwidth, storage, and other external services (e.g. email, SMS, or biometric validation). If these resources are not regulated, an attacker can exploit the API to consume disproportionate resources, leading to a range of undesirable consequences including:
Denial of Service (DoS): An attacker may cause the API to become unresponsive by overwhelming it with an excessive number of requests, or by requesting resources that are computationally expensive, leading to system crashes or slowdowns.
Inflated Operational Costs: APIs that involve third-party services, such as SMS or email delivery, may incur costs for each request. Without proper restrictions, malicious actors can generate high volumes of such requests, leading to unexpected cost overruns.
Data Loss or Degradation: APIs that allow unregulated access to large amounts of data or storage can be abused, resulting in slow system performance, data corruption, or loss.

Identification and Authentication Failures: Understanding and Mitigating Risks in Software Development

In the fast-paced world of software development, ensuring secure user authentication and session management is of paramount importance. As businesses become more dependent on digital platforms, the potential for cyber threats targeting authentication mechanisms increases significantly. These attacks can have far-reaching consequences, including data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. For software developers and architects, understanding the nuances of authentication and session management failures is essential to safeguarding user data and maintaining trust.

In the modern digital landscape, authentication is the gateway to securing sensitive information. For users to access personal or organisational data, their identities must be verified, ensuring that only authorised individuals can perform actions within an application. Session management plays an equally crucial role, ensuring that once a user has authenticated themselves, their session remains secure from external threats.

Clipboard Hijacking: A Threat to Business Security and Operational Integrity

In today’s digital landscape, the clipboard—a seemingly innocuous and convenient tool for copying and pasting data—has transformed into a focal point for cyber attackers targeting sensitive business information. Clipboard hijacking is a stealthy cyber threat that intercepts and manipulates copied data, posing substantial risks, particularly for executives in the C-Suite.
