in addition to SQLi, there are several other common web attacks that malicious actors may use to exploit vulnerabilities in web applications. Here are a few notable ones:
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): XSS attacks involve injecting malicious scripts into web pages that are then executed by a user's browser. This can be used to steal sensitive information, such as login credentials or session cookies.
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): CSRF attacks trick users into unknowingly submitting a web request on a site where they are authenticated. This can lead to actions being performed on the user's behalf without their consent.
Cross-Site Script Inclusion (XSSI): XSSI attacks involve an attacker including external scripts in a web page, often exploiting misconfigurations in the application's content security policy.
Clickjacking: Clickjacking involves hiding malicious actions behind a legitimate-looking interface. Users unknowingly interact with the hidden elements, allowing attackers to perform actions on their behalf.
Security Misconfigurations: Improperly configured security settings, such as default passwords or unnecessary services running, can expose vulnerabilities that attackers exploit.
File Inclusion Attacks: This includes Local File Inclusion (LFI) and Remote File Inclusion (RFI). LFI occurs when an attacker can include files on a server through the web browser. RFI occurs when an attacker can include remote files, often from a malicious server.
Command Injection: Attackers can inject malicious commands into input fields that are then executed by the application. This can lead to unauthorized access or other malicious activities.
XML External Entity (XXE) Attacks: XXE attacks exploit vulnerabilities in XML processors by injecting malicious XML content. This can lead to disclosure of internal files or denial of service.
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF): SSRF attacks involve tricking a server into making unintended requests, often to internal resources, which can lead to unauthorized access or data exposure.
Brute Force Attacks: Attackers attempt to gain access to user accounts by systematically trying all possible combinations of usernames and passwords.
Session Hijacking and Session Fixation: Session hijacking involves stealing a user's session token to gain unauthorized access. Session fixation involves setting a user's session token, often through phishing, to hijack their session later.
