Discover what security misconfiguration means, why it puts your systems at risk, and how to avoid common configuration mistakes to secure your web applications. Security misconfiguration occurs when security settings in your web servers, applications, databases, or networks are incorrect or incomplete. This leaves systems vulnerable to attacks. It is one of the most common issues in web security and can happen at any level of an application stack.

Insecure design refers to flaws or weaknesses in the way an application or system is planned and built. Unlike bugs or coding errors, insecure design problems come from poor or missing security controls during the early stages of development.This means that even if the code is written correctly, the overall system may still be vulnerable because the design did not consider security risks properly.

Understand what injection attacks are, how they happen, and how to prevent them. This guide explains OWASP Top 10's #3 most dangerous web security risk. Injection attacks happen when untrusted data is sent to a program or database as part of a command or query. If the system fails to properly handle or filter this input, the attacker can trick it into running harmful code. The most common type is SQL Injection, but there are others like Command Injection, LDAP Injection, and XML Injection. These attacks can lead to stolen data, data loss, or complete system compromise.
