What is OWASP Top 10?
The OWASP Top 10 is a widely used list, published by the nonprofit Open Worldwide Application Security Project, of the most critical security risks in web applications, such as broken access control and injection flaws. It is an awareness guide that teams use as a baseline, not a complete security standard.
