API Abuse API abuse arises when an attacker uses a programming interface in a way the application did not anticipate or did not restrict enough. An API is not merely a technical add-on to the application. It is often the main entrance to the data, the users, the orders, the payments and the administration.

Accidental Data Leak An accidental data leak is not an attack in the classic sense, but the consequences can look the same. Data becomes available to the wrong people through human error, bad configuration, wrong sharing, a public repository, open cloud storage, or mail sent to the wrong address.

Authentication Bypass An authentication bypass means the attacker reaches a protected part of the system without logging in the ordinary way. They need not know a password. Sometimes a flaw in the logic is enough, or an unprotected endpoint, a predictable token, a misconfigured proxy, or a gap between two steps of the login.

BGP Hijacking BGP hijacking is an attack, or a serious mistake, in which internet traffic is diverted by wrong routing. BGP is the protocol by which autonomous systems on the internet tell each other which path leads to particular IP ranges. If somebody announces another party's range as their own, part of the internet can believe them.

Botnet Attacks A botnet is a set of compromised devices the attacker controls remotely. That network can hold computers, servers, routers, cameras, NAS devices, phones and IoT equipment. The owner of the device often does not know that it is carrying out somebody else's requests.

CSPM CSPM continuously checks how the cloud environment is configured against good-practice and compliance rules: which buckets are public, which identities hold too many rights, where encryption is off, where logging is off. Instead of someone clicking manually through the console, the tool watches the whole account or subscription and flags when a setting drifts into danger.

Cloud IAM misconfiguration Cloud IAM misconfiguration means a user, a service account, an application or a role holds more rights than it needs. In the cloud an identity is not merely a login. An identity is permission to read data, spin up resources, change networks, assume roles and delete backups.

Cloud storage exposure Cloud storage exposure arises when data that ought to be private becomes publicly reachable through a bad configuration of a cloud service. That can be S3 buckets, blob storage, backups, logs, documents, images, database exports or configuration files.

Container Escape Containers are meant to isolate an application from the host and from other containers. Container escape is when an attacker controlling a process inside a container breaks that isolation and reaches the host (or other containers). From an application-level foothold they get host-level reach.

Credential stuffing Credential stuffing does not go after unknown passwords; it tries known ones. With username and password pairs from databases leaked across the internet, the attacker tries the most-used services such as Facebook and Instagram, counting on people reusing the same credentials on several services — which in most cases holds.

Cryptominer A cryptominer steals what we rarely think of as a target: our computing power and our electricity. In the background it uses our processors and graphics cards to mine cryptocurrency for the attacker while we pay the bill. It has no interest in our data, only in our resources and how much of them there is.

Dependency Confusion Dependency confusion is an attack on the process by which software build platforms find and deliver software dependencies. An attacker can publish a package on a public registry with the same name as an organization's internal package, or with the name of another public and valid package, counting on the fetching tool choosing their version over the real one.

Distributed Denial of Service / DDoS DDoS is a distributed denial-of-service attack. Instead of attacking from one place, the attacker uses a large number of compromised devices, rented infrastructure and reflected traffic to bury the target in web requests until the server is blocked. The aim is not data theft but choking the service into unavailability.

Model theft / extraction Model theft and extraction means an attacker obtains a model an organization trained, bought or adapted to its own needs. That can be direct theft of the files, the weights and the configuration, but also controlled extraction through an API, where the model is queried enough times to build an approximate copy.

Network Segmentation Network segmentation is the practice of dividing network infrastructure into smaller, isolated segments with controlled communication between them. The goal is to limit an attacker's ability to move through the network after compromising a single system.

Password spraying Password spraying is brute force turned around. Instead of trying many passwords on one account, the attacker tries common passwords across many accounts. That avoids lockout, because each individual account sees only an attempt or two.

Phishing Phishing is the most widespread form of social-engineering attack and, in a great many cases, the first link in any serious break-in. The attacker sends a message that appears to come from a known organization — a bank, a courier, a government service, a colleague — and leads the victim into doing one of three things: clicking a link, opening an attachment, or entering their credentials somewhere.

Prompt injection Prompt injection exploits the weakness of language models in telling an instruction apart from the content they are processing. When a model reads an email, a document, a page, a ticket or a message, the attacker can put text into that content which reads like an instruction.

Remote Code Execution Remote code execution is one of the most dangerous classes of vulnerability, because it lets an attacker run their own code on a vulnerable system from somewhere else entirely. If the application runs on a server, the attacker is no longer merely a user on the outside; they gain a way to influence what the server executes.

SQL Injection SQL injection usually arises when a web application passes user input blindly to the database on the web server. Instead of ordinary text, the attacker can put part of an SQL command into a login, search or filter field. If the application does not stop it, the database can execute something the designer never had in mind, and certainly never intended.

SSRF SSRF is a vulnerability in which the attacker gets a web server to send a request to an address of the attacker's choosing. The distinction matters: the request is not sent by the user's browser but by the server. That opens the door to internal services which from the outside ought to remain invisible.

Secrets Management Applications, scripts, and services need secrets to do their work — passwords, API keys, certificates, database connection strings. The wrong place for them is code, a config file, a repository, or a chat message. Secrets management means a central, protected store (a vault) from which an application fetches a secret exactly when it needs it, instead of carrying it around in plaintext.

Session Hijacking When you log in, the service opens a session — a state that remembers you are you, together with everything that goes with it, such as your preferences and settings. The main benefit is that you do not have to type a password every few minutes as you move through the features. That session is marked by an identifier, usually held in a browser cookie. Session hijacking is the taking over of a session that is already open. The attacker does not attack the login; they slip into a session that has already passed authentication and carry on operating the service in your name.

Shadow IT Shadow IT is the use of applications, cloud services, accounts and tools without the knowledge or approval of the IT team. Employees usually do not bring them in to cause a problem but to get the work done faster: a file needs sharing, a team needs a chat, marketing needs a tool, sales needs a PDF now.

Spear Phishing Spear phishing is phishing cut to fit one person or a small group of users. Instead of sending the same message to thousands of addresses, the attacker first gathers information about the victim — where they work, who they work with, what they are working on right now, how the company addresses its clients — and then writes a message that reads as if it came from that world.

Supply Chain Attack A supply chain attack does not always aim at the final victim directly. The attacker compromises software, hardware, a supplier, a build process or an update mechanism before the product or service reaches the user. The victim then carries the problem into their own environment, because it comes from a source they trust.

Wiper A wiper does not exist to steal or to extort — a wiper destroys data. It erases and overwrites, breaks file systems, and combined with worms and zero-day vulnerabilities it can bring down hundreds or thousands of networks within hours. Unlike ransomware it offers no ransom; recovery was never part of the plan, because the aim is damage, not money.

Zero-Day Exploitation Zero-day exploitation uses a vulnerability for which the vendor has no patch yet, or does not know exists. The name says how much time the defense had to prepare: zero days. In practice a victim can be doing everything right, keeping systems and applications up to date, and still be exposed.
