OWASP Top 10 2025: What Changed and How to Test For It

The OWASP Top 10 remains the most widely referenced application security risk framework. This paper maps the updated 2025 ranking to concrete DAST testing coverage, explains where the risk categories shifted from prior editions, and documents which Vuln Pro Scan checks correspond to each risk category.

What’s covered

  • How the Top 10 ranking methodology has evolved
  • New categories: Software & Data Integrity Failures, Insecure Design
  • Mapping dynamic scan checks to each OWASP risk
  • Coverage gaps that require authenticated or manual testing
  • Practical scan configuration for OWASP-aligned assessments

The Case for Authenticated DAST: Coverage You Can't Get Without Logging In

Anonymous web application scanners test only the publicly reachable surface. This paper quantifies the coverage difference between unauthenticated and authenticated scans, identifies the vulnerability classes that are invisible without valid credentials, and makes the technical and business case for including authenticated scanning in any serious security program.

What’s covered

  • What public scans find vs. what they miss
  • Vulnerability classes requiring authentication: IDOR, session weaknesses, broken access control
  • How authenticated DAST complements penetration testing
  • Credential handling, session management, and scope control during authenticated scans
  • Practical coverage comparison: same app, two scan modes

Practical Security Headers: CSP, HSTS, and the Headers That Actually Matter

HTTP security headers are one of the highest-return-on-investment controls available to web application teams. This paper covers the headers that materially reduce risk, explains the common misconfigurations that render them ineffective, and provides implementation templates for Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Referrer-Policy.

What’s covered

  • Why security headers are undervalued and underimplemented
  • Content-Security-Policy: from reporting to enforcement
  • HTTP Strict Transport Security and preload considerations
  • Clickjacking protection: X-Frame-Options vs. CSP frame-ancestors
  • Permissions-Policy, Referrer-Policy, and what they protect
  • Common scanner findings and what they mean for your risk posture
