This article presents a systematic review of the most prevalent vulnerabilities plaguing web and mobile applications. By analyzing recent research, it identifies a core set of vulnerabilities, including injection flaws, broken authentication, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure direct object references. Recognizing the human element, the article acknowledges the role of social engineering in exploiting these technical weaknesses. The review delves deeper, exploring how these vulnerabilities manifest differently across web and mobile platforms, considering factors like server-side security and API access. The research concludes by advocating for a defense strategy, emphasizing the importance of secure coding practices, robust authentication, and user awareness training. This comprehensive approach paves the way for a more secure digital landscape where both web and mobile applications can thrive.

摘要

This article presents a systematic review of the most prevalent vulnerabilities plaguing web and mobile applications. By analyzing recent research, it identifies a core set of vulnerabilities, including injection flaws, broken authentication, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure direct object references. Recognizing the human element, the article acknowledges the role of social engineering in exploiting these technical weaknesses. The review delves deeper, exploring how these vulnerabilities manifest differently across web and mobile platforms, considering factors like server-side security and API access. The research concludes by advocating for a defense strategy, emphasizing the importance of secure coding practices, robust authentication, and user awareness training. This comprehensive approach paves the way for a more secure digital landscape where both web and mobile applications can thrive.
