Intro
OWASP Top 10
The OWASP Top 10 is an awareness document for web application security. It is not a scanner, a compliance certificate, or a complete security program. It gives a team a common map of risk categories, so security work starts with the right questions.
The current release is OWASP Top 10:2025. It groups web application weaknesses into ten categories. A category collects related failure modes rather than naming one exploit. Broken access control, for example, covers failures where a user can act outside the permissions the application intended to grant.
Use the Top 10 to frame design reviews, code review, testing, remediation planning, and training. Then move from the category to concrete requirements and tests. OWASP ASVS defines verification requirements. The Web Security Testing Guide organizes testing. The Cheat Sheet Series gives focused implementation guidance.
