Even without a shell, an attacker who adds an extra option to a command can change what it does. This guide covers CWE-88, with vulnerable and fixed code.
Script can be written in syntaxes a filter never expected. CWE-87 covers why you canonicalize input and check it against an allowlist.
The authorization check exists but is wrong. CWE-863 explained with case sensitivity bugs, unchecked return values and AI platform examples from real CVEs.
CWE-862 is the endpoint that never asks whether you are allowed. Causes, real CVE patterns, how to test for it and the fixes MITRE recommends.
A null byte in the middle of a scheme can fool a filter while browsers still run the script. CWE-86 explains the gap and the encoding fix.
Doubling a character can sneak script past a filter that removes it once. CWE-85 shows why you canonicalize first and use allowlists.
Type confusion treats memory or a value as the wrong type. CWE-843 explained with C unions, PHP array parameters and the CVEs MITRE links to it.
A user lands in a group with more privilege than intended, and the access control system trusts it. Here is how CWE-842 happens and how to catch it.
