Web vulnerabilities are weaknesses in websites that attackers exploit to gain unauthorized access, steal data, or disrupt services. Common vulnerabilities include Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), which allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, and SQL Injection, where database queries are manipulated to extract sensitive information. Local File Inclusion (LFI) exposes server files, while Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) allow unauthorized access to user data by modifying URLs. Weak authentication or authorization controls lead to account takeover or unauthorized actions. File upload flaws can enable malicious code execution. These vulnerabilities emphasize the need for secure coding practices, regular testing, and robust defense mechanisms.
