Modern web applications often consist of numerous components, including third-party libraries, APIs, and microservices, each of which can introduce potential vulnerabilities.
While these practices enhance agility, they can also lead to security being overlooked or poorly integrated, resulting in vulnerabilities slipping through the cracks.
Legacy systems that are no longer supported or have unpatched vulnerabilities can be difficult to secure, yet they often remain in use due to cost or compatibility reasons.
Cross-Site Scripting allows attackers to insert malicious code in input fields, enabling them to steal cookies, session storage, or sensitive personal user data and credentials.
SQL Injection attacks occur when attackers send specially crafted input to manipulate SQL queries, allowing unauthorized modification of database attributes, gaining access to sensitive data.
Remote File Execution allows malicious scripts to be uploaded as files, taking advantage of improper sanitization in input fields, leading to compromised server-side code execution.
Local File Inclusion allows attackers to upload and execute scripts, exploiting vulnerabilities in the application’s URL structure, potentially leading to unauthorized access or malicious actions.
Directory Traversal exploits allow attackers to manipulate file paths in web applications, gaining unauthorized access to critical system files, source code, or sensitive user data stored locally.
Buffer Overflow attacks occur when applications fail to limit data input, allowing attackers to overwrite memory, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary malicious code or data corruption.
Seceon’s AI-driven solution for Web Application Security monitors application traffic, detects vulnerabilities and malicious activities in real-time, and automatically blocks threats, ensuring robust protection against web-based attacks and application exploits.
