💡 Prototype Pollution Attacks
Prototype pollution manipulates JavaScript object prototypes to inject properties that affect all objects in an application. This can lead to denial of service, property injection, and in some cases remote code execution in Node.js applications.
💡 Subdomain Takeover Vulnerabilities
Subdomain takeover occurs when DNS records point to decommissioned services. Attackers claim the abandoned resource and serve content under the trusted domain, enabling cookie theft, phishing, and reputation damage.
