OWASP 2025: Broken Access Control Still Reigns, But Who’s Surprised?
Broken access control is still the reigning champ of app risks in the OWASP Top 10 for 2025, with security misconfiguration hot on its heels. Newcomer “mishandling of exceptional conditions” joins the list, proving that even in cybersecurity, unexpected drama can steal the spotlight!
Hot Take:
OWASP’s 2025 list is out, and it feels like a cybersecurity version of the Twilight Zone—where broken access control is forever at the top, and security misconfiguration is on a meteoric rise. Meanwhile, software supply chain issues are the new kids on the block but have already caught everyone’s attention like the new iPhone in a room full of tech enthusiasts. OWASP is like that friend who keeps reminding you to lock your doors, but you’d rather binge-watch a thriller series about hackers doing just the opposite. But hey, at least they’re consistent, right?
Key Points:
- Broken Access Control remains the number one issue for 2025.
- Security Misconfiguration has climbed to second place.
- Software Supply Chain issues have debuted in the top three.
- Injection vulnerabilities have dropped to fifth place.
- New Category: Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions makes its entrance.
