Introduction In today’s digital world, web applications rely heavily on session management to maintain user authentication and state. Session tokens (or session IDs) are used to identify users after login, allowing seamless interaction without repeated authentication. However, if these tokens are intercepted or stolen, attackers can launch session replay attacks—a serious security threat where an attacker…
Introduction APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the backbone of modern web and mobile applications, enabling seamless communication between different software systems. However, insecure API endpoints pose a significant security risk, often leading to data breaches, unauthorized access, and financial losses. Many organizations fail to implement proper authentication mechanisms, leaving APIs vulnerable to exploitation. This blog explores the dangers…
Introduction In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, one critical yet often underestimated threat is the downgrade attack. Also known as version rollback attacks, downgrade attacks can severely compromise encrypted communications by coercing systems into using older, less secure versions of security protocols. This comprehensive blog post delves into the mechanisms, risks, real-world examples, and mitigations…
