CRIME & BREACH Attacks – Compression Side-Channel Attacks on HTTPS

Introduction: The Hidden Danger in Encrypted Connections In an era where HTTPS encryption is considered the gold standard for secure web communications, few realize that even encrypted connections can leak sensitive data through subtle side-channel attacks. Two of the most insidious threats in this category are the CRIME (Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy) and BREACH (Browser Reconnaissance and

Excessive Data Exposure – APIs Return More Data Than Necessary

In today’s digital landscape, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) serve as the backbone of modern web and mobile applications, enabling seamless data exchange between systems. However, one of the most prevalent security risks associated with APIs is Excessive Data Exposure, where APIs return more data than necessary, often exposing sensitive information unintentionally. This vulnerability, listed in the OWASP

Misconfigured Cloud Storage (S3 Buckets, Blob Storage) – Publicly Accessible Cloud Data

In the era of cloud computing, businesses rely heavily on cloud storage solutions like Amazon S3 Buckets, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage to store vast amounts of data. However, a critical security risk arises when these storage systems are misconfigured, leaving sensitive data exposed to the public internet. Misconfigured cloud storage is a leading cause of
