Framework Exploits
Attacks that target vulnerabilities in widely used security frameworks and protocols.
Understanding Framework Exploits
Development frameworks provide prebuilt functions, libraries, and security mechanisms, but misconfigurations or unpatched vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to inject malicious code or take control of applications.
Common Framework Exploits
Injection Attacks – Exploits weak input validation to insert malicious commands (e.g., SQL Injection in Django ORM).
Authentication Bypass – Exploits flaws in authentication modules to gain unauthorized access.
Remote Code Execution (RCE) – Injects malicious scripts via vulnerable framework components.
Future of Framework Security
AI-Based Security Patch Management – Uses machine learning to predict and apply security patches.
Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP) – Detects and blocks attacks in real-time within frameworks.
Secure Software Supply Chain Initiatives – Focuses on enhancing security of open-source dependencies.
