Question

What flaw can lead to exposure of resources or functionality to unintended actors?

Answer 1

Correct Answer is Improper Authentication

Step-by-step explanation:

Improper authentication takes place when a user's identity is incorrectly verified by an application.

A software validates the login information of the user incorrectly, resulting in an attacker being able to gain certain privileges within the application or disclose sensitive information that allows them to access sensitive data and cause arbitrary execution of code.

Unencrypted connections send passwords, session IDs and other credentials.

Unprotected user authentication credentials when stored.
