Web Vulnerability

Definition

A web vulnerability is a weakness in a website or web application that an attacker can exploit. These security defects can permit unauthorized access, data theft, denial-of-service attacks, or manipulation of website content. Common types include cross-site scripting (XSS), SQL injection, and insecure direct object references. Addressing these flaws is critical for safeguarding user data and maintaining the integrity of online services.
