Secure design principles and threat modeling
Mitigation: Secure development lifecycle (SDLC) best practices

A05:2021 - Security Misconfiguration

Common misconfigurations in web servers, databases, and APIs
Exploiting default credentials and weak security settings
Mitigation: Hardened configurations, security headers, and automated security scans

A06:2021 - Vulnerable and Outdated Components

Risks of using outdated libraries, frameworks, and plugins
Identifying known vulnerabilities (CVE databases, OWASP Dependency-Check)
Mitigation: Regular updates, patching, and software inventory management

A07:2021 - Identification and Authentication Failures

Exploiting weak passwords, session hijacking, and MFA bypass
Session management vulnerabilities (session fixation, token theft)
Mitigation: Strong authentication mechanisms (OAuth, SSO, MFA)

A08:2021 - Software and Data Integrity Failures
