What is OWASP Top 10 and Web-Based Attacks?
The OWASP Top 10 is a regularly updated list that highlights the most critical security risks facing web applications. These vulnerabilities are ranked based on exploitability, prevalence, detectability, and technical and business impact. Web-based attacks exploit these weaknesses to compromise applications, steal data, or disrupt services, often leveraging vulnerabilities in code, configuration, or design.
