The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), a worldwide not-for-profit charitable organisation dedicated to improving the security of software, has released the latest 2017 OWASP Top 10. This list, produced every four years since 2003 consists of the ten most critical web application security risks and is complied with the aim of keeping pace with the ever higher demands on cyber security and interconnected operating systems.
The 2017 OWASP Top 10 list is based on the examination of over 2.3M vulnerabilities which have impacted 50,000 applications, and contains two large-scale vulnerability updates and updated attack scenarios. It serves as a standard guide of potential issues or all types of users, including those from the security industry since most video surveillance applications involve viewing of video over LAN/WAN using web browser while IP cameras and recorders have a web interface to initialise and configure the devices.
