Cross-Site request forgery (CSRF): silent threat behind certified works

Image
In today's digital age, web applications have become integral to banking, shopping, social media and more. While functionality improves, the risk of sophisticated cyber attack increases. One such silent is still dangerous web security threat to cross-site request forgery (CSRF) . This blog dives deeply into CSRF attacks , that they exploit user trusts, real -world examples, methods of detection and practical defense mechanisms to prevent unauthorized tasks in certified sessions. What is CSRF? Cross-Site request forgery (CSRF) is a web application vulnerability where an attacker tricks a legitimate user to perform unexpected actions on a web application in which they are certified. These actions are executed without user's knowledge or consent. For example, if a user is logged into his bank account and goes to a malicious website, the attacker can secretly submit the fund transfer request on his behalf, exploiting the user's certified session. How CSRF works The specific wor...

DOM-based XSS: exploiting weaknesses in client-side script

Image
With the development of dynamic web applications, there has been a lot of change in the security scenario. One of the more powerful forms of cross-site scripting (XSS) is DOM-based XSS , a vulnerability that exploits weaknesses in a client-side script. Unlike stored XSS or reflected XSS , including server-side processing, DOM-based cross-site scripting is completely within the browser, making it more elusive and challenging to detect. In this broad blog, we will find out the nature of DOM-based XSS , how the attackers exploit it, real-world landscape, ways to detect, and find out the best strategies to protect your web applications. This guide is designed to inform developers, penetrated examiners and security professionals about the importance of security of client-side code. What is DOM-based XSS?

Reflected XSS: Malicious Script is Reflected Off a Web Server and Delivered via URL or Input

Image
  Web security is an essential aspect of maintaining the integrity, privacy, and trustworthiness of online platforms. Among the many vulnerabilities that can affect web applications, Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (Reflected XSS) stands out as a prevalent and dangerous threat. This blog delves into the core of reflected XSS, exploring how it works, real-life cases, exploitation techniques, and how to secure your applications from it. What is Reflected XSS? Reflected XSS, also known as Non-Persistent XSS , occurs when a malicious script is embedded in a URL or form input, and the server reflects that input in the HTTP response. The script is then executed in the victim's browser when they click the malicious link or submit the form. Unlike Stored XSS , where the script resides permanently on the server, Reflected XSS is executed immediately and doesn’t persist. Attackers typically use social engineering techniques  to lure users into clicking malicious URLs, often sent via emai...

Stored XSS: Malicious Script is Stored on the Server

Image
In the landscape that sometimes developed cyber security, the web application remains a major goal for the attackers to take advantage of weaknesses for personal or financial benefits. A vulnerability that creates a serious risk, it stores cross-site scripting (stored XSS) . Unlike other types of XSS attacks, the stored XSS embedded directly in the storage of the XSS server, allowing it directly malicious script in the storage of the XSS server, allowing it to affect the sessions and many users. This blog, which allows the nature of this, works in this blog. Real- Worl this danger. What is the stored XSS? The stored XSS, also known as XSS, is a web safety vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject malicious scripts in a web application.
