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.

Account Takeover Account takeover is the moment the attacker gains full control of an account — not only access, but the ability to change the password, the recovery mail address, the phone number and the second factor, while the real owner is shut out with no technical way back in on their own. Takeover is rarely the first stage of an attack. It is usually the destination of what came before: phishing, credential stuffing, token theft.

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.

Brute-force attack A brute-force attack breaks into an account by trying to log in over and over: automated tools work through password after password until one takes. It succeeds against short, weak and common passwords, and against systems that put no limit on failed attempts. It is not clever — it is only fast, and it can run for days.

Business Email Compromise Business email compromise is not an ordinary fake email. The attacker breaks into business correspondence, or imitates it well enough that somebody in the company believes the request comes from the director, from finance, from a supplier, a lawyer or a partner. The aim is usually money, but it can also be a confidential document, a change of payment details, or an opening for the next phase of the attack.

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.

Cross-Site Request Forgery Cross-site request forgery, or CSRF, exploits the fact that a browser automatically sends existing session cookies to a site where the user is already logged in. The attacker does not need to know the password. It is enough to lead the user down the wrong path.

Cross-Site Scripting Cross-site scripting, better known as XSS, arises when a web application allows somebody else's script to be displayed and executed in the user's browser. The attacker does not have to break into the web server. It is enough for their code to end up in a page the victim opens as though it were entirely legitimate.

Denial of Service / DoS DoS is a denial-of-service attack that tries to bring a service down or slow it so far that legitimate users can no longer use it. Unlike DDoS it need not come from a large network of compromised devices. Sometimes one source and a well-chosen vulnerability are enough.

Insecure Deserialization Deserialization is the return of a packed object into a form the application can use. The problem arises when an application accepts an object from an untrusted source and handles it as though it were safe. At that point the attacker is not sending mere data but a specially prepared structure that can change the flow of execution.

Insider Threat An insider threat comes from a person who has, or once had, legitimate access to an organization's systems, data or premises. That can be an employee, a former employee, an administrator, an associate, a supplier or a partner. The trouble is that the access was not necessarily unauthorized to begin with.

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.

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.

№ 020
Privilege Escalation Privilege escalation is the attempt by an attacker who already holds some level of access to widen their rights in order to move through the network. Escalation is rarely the first stage — it comes after entry through, say, an ordinary user account or a compromised service. It takes the attacker from the crack they slipped through to control of the whole system. There are two directions: vertical escalation, from an ordinary user to domain administrator, and horizontal, moving from one account to another user's resources at the same level of rights.

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.

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.

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.

Spyware Spyware watches the user and what they do. Hidden, it can spend months collecting what you type, what is on your screen, where you are, who calls you, and what you say through the microphone and camera. The point is not damage to the device but a record of the person, which can later be turned to any number of uses.

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.
