Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): A Deep Dive into Risks and Mitigations for Software and Web Developers

by

SSRF occurs when an attacker exploits a server-side vulnerability to send crafted requests from a vulnerable web server to unintended locations. These requests can be directed to internal services, cloud metadata APIs, or other network resources that would otherwise be inaccessible to external users. Essentially, SSRF enables attackers to leverage the server’s trust in internal resources and APIs to bypass firewalls, access private services, and gather sensitive data.

The OWASP Top 10: Injection Vulnerabilities

by

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.

The HTTP Parameter Pollution (HPP): Protecting Web Applications with Robust Security Practices

by

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.

Content Security Policy (CSP) Bypass: Safeguarding Business Assets from Exploitation

by

A Content Security Policy is akin to a ‘content filter’ for websites, allowing only specified, trusted sources to load and execute content. By defining a set of rules that control the origins from which resources can be loaded, CSP prevents attackers from injecting or executing harmful code within a web page. Without strict CSP enforcement, attackers can exploit vulnerabilities to exfiltrate sensitive data, capture keystrokes, or redirect users to phishing sites.
