Errors

Vulnerabilities due to errors refer to weaknesses or flaws in software or system design that can be exploited by attackers. These vulnerabilities can arise from coding mistakes, logical errors, or design flaws. Common vulnerabilities due to errors include:

1. Buffer Overflow: Improper handling of input can lead to buffer overflow vulnerabilities, where an attacker can overwrite adjacent memory and execute arbitrary code.
2. Injection Attacks: Insufficient input validation or sanitization can enable attackers to inject malicious code or commands, such as SQL injection or cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
3. Insecure Deserialization: Improper handling of serialized data can result in vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code or perform unauthorized actions.
4. Error Handling and Information Leakage: Improper error handling can provide valuable information to attackers, such as detailed error messages or system configuration, aiding them in planning further attacks.
5. Insecure Defaults: Software or system components with insecure default settings or configurations can introduce vulnerabilities if not appropriately changed during deployment.
