OWASP Top 10: 2025 Edition Coming Soon
Data collection active now through December 2024
OWASP Top Ten
Understanding the most critical web application security risks and how they impact your open source software supply chain.
What is the OWASP Top Ten?
The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) Top Ten is a standard awareness document for developers and security professionals, representing the most critical security risks to web applications.
Updated every few years, this list helps organizations focus their security efforts on the most impactful vulnerabilities.
Why It Matters for Open Source
With up to 90% of modern applications containing open source code, these security risks extend beyond your own code to include all dependencies in your software supply chain.
Understanding these risks is essential for securing your applications and meeting compliance requirements.
OWASP Top Ten 2025 Update
OWASP is preparing to release the 2025 edition of the Top Ten in the first half of 2025, bringing the latest insights on critical web application security risks.
Data Collection Period

Changes Expected
New vulnerabilities and revised rankings based on current threat landscape
The OWASP Top Ten (2021)
Broken Access Control
Restrictions on authenticated users aren't properly enforced, allowing attackers to access unauthorized functionality or data.
Cryptographic Failures
Sensitive data isn't properly protected through encryption, potentially exposing it to unauthorized access.
Injection
User-supplied data is processed without proper validation, allowing attackers to inject malicious code.
Insecure Design
Security flaws exist at the architectural level rather than implementation, creating vulnerabilities by design.
Security Misconfiguration
Improper configuration of applications, frameworks, or servers exposes security vulnerabilities.
Vulnerable and Outdated Components
Using components with known vulnerabilities allows attackers to exploit these issues for various attacks.
Identification and Authentication Failures
Weaknesses in authentication mechanisms allow attackers to assume users' identities or bypass authentication.
Software and Data Integrity Failures
Code and infrastructure without integrity checks can lead to malicious updates and supply chain attacks.
Security Logging and Monitoring Failures
Insufficient logging and monitoring prevent timely detection of attacks and security breaches.
Server-Side Request Forgery
Applications fetch remote resources without validating URLs, allowing access to internal services.
