Attack Technique

Cross-Site Request Forgery exploits the automatic credential inclusion behavior of web browsers.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.

Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
