What's Inside?
The OWASP Top 10 represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. This checklist helps organizations assess their web application defenses against these prevalent vulnerabilities.
Assessment categories based on OWASP Top 10:
Key Focus Areas
Broken Access Control: Ensure strict server-side checks and user privilege boundary isolation.
Cryptographic Failures: Protect data in transit and at rest using strong, up-to-date encryption algorithms.
Injection: Use parameterized queries, ORM frameworks, and sanitize all input formats.
Insecure Design: Integrate threat modeling and secure design principles from inception.
Security Misconfiguration: Harden application servers, disable default accounts, and restrict debug services.
Vulnerable and Outdated Components: Run Software Composition Analysis (SCA) to track and patch third-party libraries.
Identification and Authentication Failures: Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) and strong password complexity rules.
Software and Data Integrity Failures: Secure CI/CD pipelines, verify package signatures, and run integrity checks.
Security Logging and Monitoring Failures: Capture audit logs, monitor system events, and alert on anomalous actions.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): Validate all user-supplied URLs, restrict DNS resolutions, and isolate network requests.
Essential checklist for AppSec professionals, QA testers, and web developers looking to comply with OWASP recommendations.
