OWASP Top 10 2025: The New Risks That Will Make Developers Sweat!
The 2025 OWASP Top 10 list has been reshuffled like a deck of cards, with Broken Access Control still reigning as the ace. Security Misconfiguration leaps to second, while new kid Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions sneaks in at tenth. It’s a cybersecurity soap opera, but without the dramatic pauses.
Hot Take:
OWASP’s Top 10 list is like the Grammy Awards of cybersecurity—just when you think you know who’s on top, they go and shake things up. But let’s be honest, Broken Access Control is the Beyoncé of this list—consistently dropping hits, never leaving the top spot.
Key Points:
– Broken Access Control retains the top spot and now includes Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
– Security Misconfiguration climbs to the second spot and Software Supply Chain Failures make a debut in third.
– Cryptographic Failures, Injection, and Insecure Design all drop two positions.
– Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions is a fresh face, landing in tenth place.
– OWASP’s new approach allows for better tracking of Common Weakness Enumerations (CWEs), expanding from 30 in 2017 to 589 in 2025.
