💡 Remote Code Execution (RCE)
RCE vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute arbitrary code on target servers. These critical flaws often arise from deserialization bugs, template injection, or file upload vulnerabilities, and represent the highest severity class of web application weaknesses.
💡 Initial Access Broker Marketplace
Initial access brokers specialize in gaining entry to corporate networks and selling that access to ransomware operators. This specialization creates an efficient criminal marketplace where compromised credentials and VPN access are traded as commodities.
