Web Security: OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities and How to Prevent Them
The OWASP Top 10 lists the most critical web security risks. Learn about SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and broken authentication with practical prevention strategies.
Web security is non-negotiable for production applications.
1. Injection (SQL, NoSQL)
Use parameterized queries — Prisma prevents SQL injection by default.
2. Broken Authentication
Implement MFA, rate limiting, and proper session management.
3. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Sanitize user input and use Content Security Policy headers.
4. CSRF
Use CSRF tokens for state-changing operations.
5-10
Insecure deserialization, security misconfigurations, exposing sensitive data, broken access control, insufficient logging, using vulnerable dependencies.
