CYThe OWASP Top 10 2025 was recently updated, here’s what you need to know 👩🏻💻💻
OWASP Top 10 is the list of the top most common web application vulnerabilities and is relevant for all security professionals and developers.
It influences how AppSec programs mature, how engineering backlogs are prioritized, how GRC maps controls, and how risk gets communicated to leadership.
Here are the key OWASP Top 10 changes:
🔗 Software Supply Chain Failures was added and expanded, replacing the older “Vulnerable and Outdated Components” focus. It now covers dependencies, build systems, and distribution pipelines.
⚠️ Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions is a new category, highlighting fail-open logic, poor error handling, and insecure behavior during abnormal states.
🔐 SSRF was merged into Broken Access Control, reinforcing that SSRF is fundamentally an authorization issue.
☁️ Security Misconfiguration moved up in ranking, reflecting the continued impact of cloud, IaC, and default configuration weaknesses.
🧠 Overall, the 2025 update shifts focus toward systemic, architectural, and supply chain risks, rather than isolated coding flaws.
