What is the OWASP Top 10?

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a non-profit organization focused on improving the security of software and the internet. OWASP publishes the OWASP Top 10, a regularly updated list of the most critical security risks affecting web applications.

The OWASP Top 10 highlights common and impactful vulnerabilities, including injection flaws (such as cross-site scripting) and cryptographic failures. It serves as a reference for developers, architects, and security professionals to better understand, prioritize, and mitigate web application security risks.

The list is updated periodically to reflect changes in technology and the evolving threat landscape. The most recent version is OWASP Top 10 2021, which replaces the 2017 edition.
