Complex business logic

Complex business logic vulnerabilities arise from improper implementation of application functionality, which can be exploited to bypass intended workflows or access controls. These flaws often require a deep understanding of the application's processes and can lead to unauthorized actions or data exposure.

Authentication weaknesses

Authentication weaknesses involve flaws in verifying user identities, allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate users. Common issues include weak password policies, improper session handling, and vulnerabilities in multi-factor authentication processes, directly threatening user accounts and sensitive data.

Compromised access controls

Compromised access controls fail to properly restrict user actions based on their roles, leading to unauthorized data access or modification. This category includes issues like privilege escalation, where users gain higher permissions than allocated, significantly impacting data integrity and privacy.

Flawed session management

Flawed session management can allow attackers to hijack user sessions or perform actions without proper authentication. Vulnerabilities include inadequate session expiration, insecure token storage, and susceptibility to session fixation attacks, compromising user identity and session security.

Security configuration errors

Security configuration errors derive from incorrect system settings or misconfigurations in security parameters, exposing applications to potential breaches. Common examples are exposed APIs, default credentials, and unsecured data storage options.

Errors in database interactions

Errors in database interactions, including improper sanitization and handling of user inputs, can lead to injection attacks and data leaks. These vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute unintended database commands, potentially accessing or corrupting sensitive information.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Cross-site scripting involves embedding malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. XSS attacks exploit user's trust in a particular site, allowing attackers to bypass access controls and steal information, such as cookies and session tokens.

DoS attacks

Denial of Service (DoS) attacks aim to make a resource unavailable to intended users by overwhelming the system with excessive requests. This vulnerability can damage application availability and effectiveness, leading to significant downtime and disruption.

Backend system defects

Backend system defects include unhandled errors and misconfigurations in server-side components that can be exploited to cause unexpected behavior or crashes. These defects may lead to severe security breaches if they provide attackers with control over backend systems.

Injection flaws

Injection flaws, such as SQL, NoSQL, or command injection, occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. Attackers can exploit these flaws to execute unintended commands or access unauthorized data.

API Security Flaws

API security flaws result from inadequate handling of API requests and responses, leading to data breaches, unauthorized data manipulation, or service disruptions. These vulnerabilities are critical in systems where APIs serve as primary interfaces for application interaction.

Exposure of Sensitive Data

Exposure of sensitive data occurs when data is stored or transmitted without proper encryption or protection measures, leading to potential data theft or leakage. Vulnerabilities in this category directly threaten user privacy and data security.
