GuardScope uses AI to identify all 10 critical web application security risks defined by OWASP, from injection attacks to broken authentication, before they reach production.
The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document representing a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. Published by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), it's updated every 3-4 years based on data from security firms and surveys.
The 2021 edition represents the most current threats facing web applications, including three new categories: Insecure Design, Software and Data Integrity Failures, and Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
For developers and security teams, the OWASP Top 10 serves as the baseline for web application security testing and should be addressed in every application.
Restrictions on authenticated users are not properly enforced, allowing unauthorized actions
How GuardScope Helps:
Detects missing authorization checks, privilege escalation, and insecure direct object references
Failures in cryptography leading to sensitive data exposure or system compromise
How GuardScope Helps:
Identifies weak encryption algorithms, missing encryption, exposed secrets, and insecure key storage
User-supplied data is not validated, filtered, or sanitized by the application
How GuardScope Helps:
Scans for SQL injection, command injection, XSS, and other injection vulnerabilities
Design and architectural flaws requiring threat modeling and secure design patterns
How GuardScope Helps:
Reviews architecture for security anti-patterns, missing controls, and design vulnerabilities
Insecure default configurations, incomplete setups, or overly permissive settings
How GuardScope Helps:
Identifies security misconfigurations, default settings, and missing hardening measures
Using components with known vulnerabilities or that are no longer supported
How GuardScope Helps:
Detects outdated dependencies, known CVEs, and vulnerable third-party components
Broken authentication and session management leading to account compromise
How GuardScope Helps:
Identifies weak authentication, session management issues, and credential vulnerabilities
Code and infrastructure without protection against integrity violations
How GuardScope Helps:
Reviews CI/CD pipelines, update mechanisms, and code signing practices
Insufficient logging and monitoring preventing breach detection
How GuardScope Helps:
Evaluates logging implementations, audit trails, and monitoring capabilities
Web application fetches remote resources without validating user-supplied URLs
How GuardScope Helps:
Detects SSRF vulnerabilities, URL validation issues, and internal resource access
