Software Vulnerability:
A software vulnerability refers to a defect in software that can be exploited by attackers to gain control over a system. These vulnerabilities can arise from issues in the software errors in the code during implementation. Attackers use these vulnerabilities for stealing or altering sensitive information, installing backdoors, or introducing various types of malware into systems. Some common software vulnerabilities are given below:
1. Broken Access Control:
This can happen when a user restrictions are not implemented in a proper way. It is the category of security vulnerabilities that develop when the application is not able to be properly designed.
2. Cryptographic Failure:
This type of Vulnerability occurs to access the data from the users. The essential data of a user like usernames, passwords, account numbers and personal details should be protected very carefully.
3. Injection:
Injection is a technology where attackers put malicious codes directly to the system through using input-type fields in order to make use of their weaknesses and thus execute unauthorized commands or alter data.
