The HTTP response partition is a web application vulnerability that occurs when unvalidated user input HTTP response is included in the header. This defect allows an attacker to inject an additional HTTP header or manipulate the structure of an HTTP reaction. It often results in cross-site scripting (XSS), web cache poisoning, or redirect attacks. While the HTTP response partition has been around since the early 2000s, it is relevant today due to poorly validated web applications and its appearance in APIs. Modern structures reduce the possibility of such weaknesses, but misunderstandings, old libraries, or custom implementation can still make applications weak. This blog examines h istory, technical functioning, detection methods, attack scenarios, and prevention strategies for HTTP response division. History of the HTTP Reaction Division The vulgarity was first publicly documented by security researcher Amit Klein in 2004. He displayed that improper handling of carriage returns (CR)...

In the vast world of web security, developers often focus on validating user inputs, securing databases, and patching server weaknesses. However, the attackers often find their way through less clear channels—an unseen vector HTTP header . In particular, host header injection is a subtle yet powerful technique that can be exploited to compromise web applications with unexpected methods. This blog examines the mitigation of history, mechanics, detection, exploitation, and host header injections—one of the least assault vectors in the scope of HTTP-based communication. Understand the HTTP host header Each HTTP request includes a series of headers. The most important of these is the host header , which specifies the domain name of the server requested by the client.  For example: vbnet GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com Web server hosts use host headers for proper root requests, especially in shared hosting environments. Unfortunately, if the application or server does not validate t...

In the digital age, encryption is the backbone of safe communication. Whether it is your WhatsApp message, online banking transaction, or cloud storage access, cryptography   secures your data. But what happens when encryption becomes the goal? Enter the cryptographic attacks —a powerful category of cyberattack that exploits weaknesses in encryption algorithms or their implementation. This blog dives deeply into cryptographic attacks and focuses on their history, how they work, and how the attackers exploit, detect, and reduce them. 🔎 What is a cryptographic attack? A cryptographic attack involves breaking or weakening the encryption schemes used to protect sensitive data. These attacks usually target: Encryption algorithms ( eg , AES, RSA) Protocol ( eg , SSL/TLS) Key or key exchange system Implementation flaws (e.g., timing issues, weak randomness) The attackers use these weaknesses to decrypt data, steal credentials, replace data or replicate legitimate users. 🧭 A brief hi...

Modern software development depends a lot on external libraries, frameworks, plugins, and third-party dependence. This helps the modular and reviewing approach teams to build applications rapidly, cheaply, and more efficiently. However, it also opens a new and often poorly protected attack surface: software supply chain . A supply chain attack does not target the core code of your application directly. Instead, it compromises with reliable external components that you have integrated—they are often pre-installed or drawn during the build. Once infected, these components quietly spread malicious codes in all the systems that use them. From nation-state actors to opportunistic cybercriminals, attackers take advantage of rapid supply chain weaknesses to achieve wide impact. This blog examines the history, mechanism, detection, exploitation and defense strategies related to the supply chain attacks targeting web applications . What is a supply chain attack in web applications? A supply cha...

In a world with an ever-expanding world of digital communication and software integration, APIs (application programming interfaces) act as bridges, allowing systems to talk to each other. However, developers run as scalable and feature-rich applications as developers, and some often microscopic yet ignored disastrous weaknesses. Among these, mass assignments stand as a silent but powerful safety threat, especially in modern comfortable APIs. The weaknesses of mass assignment allow malicious users to modify or inject the objects that should not have access. These weaknesses can compromise sensitive data, change the roles of the user, or provide unauthorized access—all need to break "traditionally" without the attacker. This blog will turn into h istory, work, exploitation, detection, and mitigation of large-scale assignment weaknesses. Understanding Mass Assignment Mass assignment, also known as over-posting , occurs when an API automatically binds data from user input to p...

In today's hypercontaneous digital landscape, application programming interfaces (APIs) are the backbone of modern web and mobile application. They enable spontaneous communication between various software systems, making everything convenient from login functional to payment processing. However, this increased dependence on API has introduced new attack vector-particularly API-specific attacks such as API injections , where the attackers manipulate API requests to obtain unauthorized access, remove sensitive information or disrupt the application argument. This blog dives deeply into API injection attacks, discovering the best practices for their origin, general exploitation techniques, detection strategies, and mitigation. 📜 History and development of API attacks APIs have existed since the early days of computing, but their explosive increase in the early 2000s has increased, which increases with the increasing requirement of APIs, SOAP, and cloud-based microservices .  As ...
