Systematic Review of Common Web-Application Vulnerabilities

Organizations are increasingly worried about web application vulnerabilities because they can be used by cybercriminals to access private data without authorization. In this review, we examine the current state of the vulnerabilities in the web application layer. We begin by discussing the different types of vulnerabilities that can affect web applications, including cross-site scripting (XSS), brute force, SQL injection, and cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. And then for each vulnerability, we discuss the various approaches that have been developed to detect and prevent these vulnerabilities. Finally, we discuss the challenges and limitations of current approaches and suggest directions for future research.
