💡 File Upload Vulnerabilities
Insecure file upload functionality allows attackers to upload web shells, malware, or scripts that execute on the server. Proper validation must check file content, not just extensions, and uploaded files should be stored outside the web root.
💡 State-Sponsored Cyber Operations
Nation-state actors conduct sophisticated campaigns for espionage, sabotage, and influence operations. Their resources exceed typical criminal organizations, enabling zero-day exploitation, long-term persistent access, and attacks on critical infrastructure.
