3. An attacker can run his or her own DNS server on the network, or use one of the existing servers to configure any domain, so that after the solution it points to 127.0.0.1. There is also a generally available domain, vcap.me, in which any subdomain you choose always points to 12...
In cyberspace, vulnerabilities exist in multiple types and forms and this is what makes them hard to track, test, and fix. For through-and-through API security, it’s crucial to have awareness of all the famous and unfamiliar threats. One such threat/vulnerability is Open redirect. Responsib...
Server-side request forgery (SSRF)is the only type of vulnerability that has its own category in theOWASP Top 10 2021list. Several major cybersecurity breaches in recent years, includingCapital OneandMS Exchange attacks, involved the use of SSRF as one of the break-in techniques. SSRF vulnera...
This is part of an extensive series of guides aboutinformation security. How Does A WAF Work? Figure 1:Basic WAF Architecture. 当WAF部署在Web应用前端时,Web应用与互联网之间将有一个保护罩,用于监控应用和最终用户之间的所有流量。 A WAF protects web apps by filtering, monitoring and blocking any ...
With an SBOM, organizations can quickly identify any components with known vulnerabilities. It helps streamline the process of vulnerability management and ensures a swift response when a security flaw is discovered. SBOM is becoming increasingly important, especially with the rise of open-source softwar...
Example:An application deserializes attacker-supplied hostile objects, opening itself to vulnerability. Solution:Application security toolshelp detect deserialization flaws, and penetration testing can validate the problem. Seeker IAST can also check for unsafe deserialization and help detect insecure redirects...
Exploitation of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities:This is when an attacker exploits a vulnerability that is not yet known to the public or the vendor. Unrecognized Attacks by Current Defense Systems:From the perspective of protection solutions such as WAF, DDOS and bot mitigation, a zero-day attack can ...
is also a significant vulnerability for API security. These attacks take advantage of the underlying logic and processes of an application to achieve malicious objectives. For instance, attackers may manipulate an API's business logic to gain unauthorized access to specific functionality or resources, ...
An injectionvulnerabilityin a web application allows attackers to send hostile data to an interpreter, causing that data to be compiled and executed on the server. A common form of injection is SQL injection. Preventing Injection Attacks Use a safe API which avoids the use of the interpreter ent...
Instead, malicious actors can exploit an SSRF vulnerability to make their attack via a vulnerable web server: The attacker sends a forged request to a web server that is vulnerable to SSRF and resides on the same internal network as the target server. The vulnerable web server sends the ...
