Everything Circuit Observer has reported about web security: 10 stories, newest first. Part of our Vulnerabilities coverage.
Carriage return and line feed injection persists because it exploits protocol parsing logic, not just input validation, allowing attackers to bypass standard security controls through header splitting.
Browser isolation shifts all rendering and execution to a remote server, ensuring that no malicious code ever touches the local endpoint or internal network infrastructure.
Web cache poisoning succeeds when servers treat harmless request parts as untrusted, allowing attackers to store malicious code in shared storage for all users.
Small businesses face disproportionate SQL injection risk because custom applications often lack the rigorous code review processes that large enterprises enforce.
Storing user files outside web roots and renaming them breaks the direct path attackers use to execute code on your server.
Server-side request forgery allows attackers to use your application as a proxy to access internal resources that should never be exposed to the public internet.
Open redirects hide in valid URL patterns, making them invisible to standard input validation and requiring behavioral analysis to uncover.
Basic CAPTCHAs fail silently when attackers use headless browsers, forcing you to choose between security and conversion rates.
Reverse proxies hide server architecture from attackers by intercepting requests before they reach your application logic.
Most bot protection fails because administrators treat bots as uniform threats rather than distinct traffic patterns with different operational goals.
