💡 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.
💡 Zero-Day Vulnerability Markets
Zero-day vulnerabilities command premium prices in both legitimate and criminal markets. Government agencies, defensive security firms, and criminal organizations compete for these undisclosed flaws, creating a complex ecosystem around vulnerability discovery and disclosure.
