💡 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.
💡 Threat Intelligence Sharing Frameworks
Standards like STIX/TAXII, MISP, and OpenIOC enable automated sharing of threat intelligence between organizations. Collective defense through shared indicators, tactics, and procedures strengthens the entire security community against common threats.
