Top 10 Risk Factor Summary The following table presents a summary of the 2013 Top 10 Application Security Risks, and the risk factors we have assigned to each risk. These factors were determined based on the available statistics and the experience of the OWASP Top 10 team. To understand these risks for a particular application or organization, you must consider your own specific threat agents and business impacts. Even egregious software weaknesses may not present a serious risk if there are no threat agents in a position to perform the necessary attack or the business impact is negligible for the assets involved. RISK Threat Agents Attack Vectors Security Weakness (Prevalence) Security Weakness (Detectability) Technical Impacts Business Impacts A1 Injection ? EASY COMMON AVERAGE SEVERE ? A2 Authentication ? AVERAGE WIDESPREAD AVERAGE SEVERE ? A3 XSS ? AVERAGE VERY WIDESPREAD EASY MODERATE ? A4 Insecure DOR ? EASY COMMON EASY MODERATE ? A5 Config ? EASY COMMON EASY MODERATE ? A6 Sens. Data ? DIFFICULT UNCOMMON AVERAGE SEVERE ? A7 Function Acc. ? EASY COMMON AVERAGE MODERATE ? A8 CSRF ? AVERAGE COMMON AVERAGE MODERATE ? A9 Components ? AVERAGE WIDESPREAD DIFFICULT MODERATE ? A10 Redirects ? AVERAGE UNCOMMON EASY MODERATE ?

Additional Risks to Consider The Top 10 cover a lot of ground, but there are other risks that you should consider and evaluate in your organization. Some of these have appeared in previous versions of the Top 10, and others have not, including new attack techniques that are being identified all the time. Other important application security risks (in alphabetical order) that you should also consider include: Clickjacking Concurrency Flaws Denial of Service (Was 2004 Top 10 – Entry 2004-A9) Expression Language Injection Information Leakage and Improper Error Handling (Was part of 2007 Top 10 – Entry 2007-A6) Insufficient Anti-automation Insufficient Logging and Accountability (Related to 2007 Top 10 – Entry 2007-A6) Lack of Intrusion Detection and Response Malicious File Execution (Was 2007 Top 10 – Entry 2007-A3) Mass Assignment User Privacy [[Top 10 {{{year}}}-Note About Risks|← Note About Risks]] [[Top 10 {{{year}}}-Table of Contents | {{{year}}} Table of Contents]] [[Top_10_{{{year}}}-Top 10|{{{year}}} Top 10 List]]   © 2002-{{{year}}} OWASP Foundation This document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.
