OWASP Top 10

The ten most critical web application security risks, maintained by the Open Web Application Security Project as an industry-standard awareness document.

The OWASP Top 10 is a regularly updated list of the most critical security risks to web applications. The current list includes broken access control, cryptographic failures, injection attacks, insecure design, security misconfiguration, vulnerable components, authentication failures, data integrity failures, logging gaps, and server-side request forgery. AI-generated code is particularly vulnerable to several of these — especially broken access control (IDOR), injection attacks (SQL injection, XSS), and security misconfiguration. Understanding the OWASP Top 10 is the minimum bar for any team shipping production web applications.
