Everything Patch Review has reported about web security: 7 stories, newest first. Part of our Vulnerabilities coverage.
Relying solely on JavaScript frame busting fails when attackers disable scripting, making HTTP response headers the only reliable defense against interface confusion attacks.
Most defacements exploit unpatched software and weak access controls rather than complex code execution flaws, making routine maintenance the strongest defense.
Validating file names is insufficient because attackers manipulate directory structures to bypass simple string checks and access sensitive system data.
Reverse proxies absorb direct traffic, hiding server details and enforcing rules before requests reach your internal network infrastructure.
Attackers inject invisible scripts into legitimate checkout pages to capture payment details before they reach the merchant's server.
The list categorizes risks by likelihood and impact, meaning a low-ranking item in one context can be the primary vector for catastrophic data loss in another.
Web servers automatically generate file indexes when configuration defaults leave directory contents visible to any visitor.
