XSS Strikes Again: The 2025 List of Software Vulnerabilities You Can’t Ignore!
MITRE’s 2025 CWE Top 25 list reveals cross-site scripting vulnerabilities still reign supreme. Six new weaklings join the dangerous party, while others drop out like they missed curfew. CISA urges software makers to review the list, adding a sprinkle of Secure by Design practices. Check the methodology if you’re into the nerdy details!
Hot Take:
Brace yourselves, folks! The MITRE Corporation just dropped the latest edition of their “CWE Top 25 Most Dangerous Software Weaknesses” list, and it’s hotter than a hacker’s keyboard at a phishing convention. With XSS once again reigning supreme and SQL injection playing runner-up, it’s like the cybersecurity Oscars, but with more code and fewer red carpets.
Key Points:
- XSS vulnerabilities secure the top spot again, closely followed by SQL injection and CSRF.
- Missing authorization jumps five spots to claim fourth place.
- Six new entries grace the list this year, including various buffer overflow weaknesses.
- Some previous contenders like improper privilege management have exited the Top 25.
- CISA urges incorporating the list into security practices for better protection.
