Vulnerability Categories

OWASP Top 10 (2021)

A01: Broken Access Control

# VULNERABLE
@app.route('/admin/users/<user_id>')
def get_user(user_id):
    return User.query.get(user_id)  # No auth check!

# SECURE
@app.route('/admin/users/<user_id>')
@require_admin
def get_user(user_id):
    return User.query.get(user_id)

A02: Cryptographic Failures

# VULNERABLE
password_hash = hashlib.md5(password.encode()).hexdigest()

# SECURE
password_hash = bcrypt.hashpw(password.encode(), bcrypt.gensalt())

A03: Injection

# VULNERABLE - SQL Injection
query = f"SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = {user_id}"

# SECURE - Parameterized query
query = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s"
cursor.execute(query, (user_id,))

A04: Insecure Design

• Missing rate limiting
• No account lockout
• Predictable resource IDs

A05: Security Misconfiguration

# VULNERABLE
app.config['DEBUG'] = True  # In production!
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = 'dev-key-123'

# SECURE
app.config['DEBUG'] = os.environ.get('DEBUG', 'false').lower() == 'true'
app.config['SECRET_KEY'] = os.environ['SECRET_KEY']  # Required env var

A06: Vulnerable Components

• Outdated dependencies with known CVEs
• Unmaintained libraries

A07: Authentication Failures

# VULNERABLE - Timing attack
if user.password == provided_password:
    return True

# SECURE - Constant time comparison
if secrets.compare_digest(user.password_hash, hash(provided_password)):
    return True

A08: Data Integrity Failures

• Missing signature verification
• Deserializing untrusted data

A09: Logging Failures

# VULNERABLE - Logging sensitive data
logger.info(f"User login: {username}, password: {password}")

# SECURE - Redact sensitive fields
logger.info(f"User login: {username}")
