The following is an extensive library of security solutions, articles and guides that are meant to be helpful and informative resources on a range of Web vulnerability types, including, but not limited to, Cross-Site Scripting, SQL injection, CSRF injection and insufficient transport layer weaknesses. Web application vulnerabilities are some of the most common flaws leading to modern data breaches.
Application Vulnerabilities are system flaws or weaknesses in an application that could be exploited to compromise the security of the application. Learn More
Buffer Overflow occurs when there is more data in a buffer than it can handle, causing data to overflow into adjacent storage. Learn More
CRLF Injection refers to the special character elements "Carriage Return" and "Line Feed." Exploits occur when an attacker is able to inject a CRLF sequence into an HTTP stream. Learn More
Cross-Site Request Forgery Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) is a malicious attack that tricks the user’s web browser to perform undesired actions so that they appear as if an authorized user is performing those actions. Learn More
Cross-Site Scripting XSS vulnerabilities target scripts embedded in a page that are executed on the client-side (in the user’s web browser) rather than on the server-side. Learn More
Directory Traversal Directory traversal is a type of HTTP exploit that is used by attackers to gain unauthorized access to restricted directories and files. Learn More
Failure to Restrict URL Access is one of the common vulnerabilities listed on the Open Web Application Security Project’s (OWASP) Top 10. The OWASP Top 10 details the most critical vulnerabilities in web applications. Learn More
Insecure Cryptographic Storage Insecure Cryptographic Storage is a common vulnerability that occurs when sensitive data is not stored securely from internal users. Learn More
Insufficient Transport Layer Protection is a security weakness caused by applications not taking any measures to protect network traffic. Learn More
LDAP Injection LDAP injection is the technique of exploiting web applications that use client-supplied data in LDAP statements without first stripping potentially harmful characters from the request. Learn More
Malicious Code Analysis tools are designed to uncover any code in any part of a software system or script that is intended to cause undesired effects, security breaches or damage to a system. Learn More
SQL Injection SQL injection is a type of web application security vulnerability in which an attacker is able to submit a database SQL command, which is executed by a web application, exposing the back-end database. Learn More
