💡 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.
💡 Log Correlation and SIEM Integration
Correlating logs across web servers, firewalls, DNS, and authentication systems reveals attack patterns invisible in individual log sources. Modern SIEM platforms use statistical analysis to connect related events across time and systems.
