Attack Technique
Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
