OWASP Top 10 for 2010
On April 19, 2010 we released the final version of the OWASP Top 10 for 2010, and here is the associated press release. This version was updated based on numerous comments received during the comment period after the release candidate was released in Nov. 2009.


 * OWASP Top 10 - 2010 Document
 * OWASP Top 10 - 2010 - wiki
 * OWASP Top 10 - 2010 Presentation
 * OWASP Top 10 Video of the Presentation above - this focused alot on the Top 10 for 2010 approach, rather than the details. (From OWASP AppSec EU 2010)
 * OWASP Top 10 Video of this Presentation when the Top 10 for 2010 was 1st released for comment - this goes through each item in the Top 10. (From OWASP AppSec DC 2009)

The OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks for 2010 are:


 * A1: Injection
 * A2: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
 * A3: Broken Authentication and Session Management
 * A4: Insecure Direct Object References
 * A5: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
 * A6: Security Misconfiguration
 * A7: Insecure Cryptographic Storage
 * A8: Failure to Restrict URL Access
 * A9: Insufficient Transport Layer Protection
 * A10: Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards

Please help us make sure every developer in the ENTIRE WORLD knows about the OWASP Top 10 by helping to spread the word!!!

As you help us spread the word, please emphasize:


 * OWASP is reaching out to developers, not just the application security community
 * The Top 10 is about managing risk, not just avoiding vulnerabilities
 * To manage these risks, organizations need an application risk management program, not just awareness training, app testing, and remediation

We need to encourage organizations to get off the penetrate and patch mentality. As Jeff Williams said in his 2009 OWASP AppSec DC Keynote: “we’ll never hack our way secure – it’s going to take a culture change” for organizations to properly address application security.

If you are interested in doing a presentation on the OWASP Top 10, please feel free to use all or parts of this:

Introduction
The OWASP Top Ten provides a powerful awareness document for web application security. The OWASP Top Ten represents a broad consensus about what the most critical web application security flaws are. Project members include a variety of security experts from around the world who have shared their expertise to produce this list. Versions of the 2007 were translated into English, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Turkish and other languages. Translation efforts for the 2010 version are underway and they will be posted as they become available.

We urge all companies to adopt this awareness document within their organization and start the process of ensuring that their web applications do not contain these flaws. Adopting the OWASP Top Ten is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing the software development culture within your organization into one that produces secure code.

How Are Companies/Projects/Vendors Using the OWASP Top 10?
Click the links for more details on each use!

Warning: these articles have not been rated for accuracy by OWASP. Product companies should be extremely careful about claiming to "cover" or "ensure compliance" with the OWASP Top 10. The current state-of-the-art for automated detection (scanners and static analysis) and prevention (waf) is nowhere near sufficient to claim adequate coverage of the issues in the Top 10. Nevertheless, using the Top 10 as a simple way to communicate security to end users is effective.


 * Microsoft
 * as a way to measure the coverage of their SDL and improve security


 * NSA
 * in their developer guidance on web application security


 * PCI Council
 * as part of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)


 * Citrix
 * in a guide showing how to configure their NetScalar product


 * Microsoft
 * to show how "T10 threats are handled by the security design and test procedures of Microsoft"


 * web2py
 * to demonstrate the security of this Python web framework


 * Oracle
 * for developer awareness


 * TheatreManager
 * to show how their product is secure for web use


 * WhiteHat
 * as a way to explain the coverage of their service


 * Imperva
 * to show the coverage of the SecureSphere tool


 * Cenzic
 * to enable "focused scans for compliance testing with the updated PCI standard"
