💡 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.
💡 Supply Chain Security Challenges
Attacks targeting software supply chains compromise trusted update mechanisms to distribute malware at scale. Dependency confusion, typosquatting in package registries, and compromised build pipelines threaten even organizations with strong direct security postures.
