Attack Technique

XML External Entity (XXE) attacks exploit XML parsers that process Document Type Definitions (DTDs) without proper restrictions.

Authentication bypass attacks exploit flaws in the verification mechanisms that control access to systems and applications.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
