Episode 35 — Understand Web Application Risk: OWASP Patterns and Real-World Attack Paths (Task 2)
This episode explains web application risk using common OWASP-style patterns and real-world attack paths that translate directly into exam scenarios. You will learn how issues like injection, broken access control, insecure session management, and misconfigured security headers create predictable exploitation opportunities. We will connect these patterns to practical evidence sources such as web server logs, application telemetry, and authentication records, and we will discuss how to distinguish automated scanning from targeted exploitation. You will also hear best practices for reducing risk, including secure defaults, strong authorization checks, input validation, and monitoring that captures meaningful context for incident reconstruction. The exam typically rewards candidates who can identify the most likely vulnerability class from symptoms, then choose a control or investigative step that addresses root cause rather than surface behavior.
