💡 XML External Entity (XXE) Attacks
XXE vulnerabilities in XML parsers allow attackers to read local files, perform SSRF, and execute denial of service attacks. Many legacy applications and APIs remain vulnerable to XXE due to insecure default XML parser configurations.
💡 Residential Proxy Networks
Residential proxies route traffic through real home internet connections, making malicious traffic appear to come from legitimate users. Some networks install proxy software bundled with free applications, unknowingly conscripting millions of devices.
