Timeline (last 90 days)
The web vulnerability discovery stage focuses on the OWASP TOP 10, including SQL injection, privilege escalation vulnerabilities, and logic flaws.
The most typical unauthorized access vulnerability occurs in scenarios where authentication passes but authorization is missing; this type of problem is especially common in AI-generated code, because AI often only implements the layer of "accessible after logging in" while ignoring the layer of "can only access one's own data."
