OWASP Top 10 2025 Updates: Supply Chain, Secrets, And Misconfigurations Take Center Stage

The OWASP Top 10 for 2025 updates its list of critical web application security risks by introducing new categories, expanding existing ones, and renaming some to better reflect current threats. The list maintains Broken Access Control at the top, highlighting its persistent risk, while Security Misconfiguration rises due to increased reliance on configuration files and infrastructure templates. A significant change is the inclusion of Software Supply Chain Failures, emphasizing the broader ecosystem vulnerabilities beyond outdated components. The list also introduces Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions and refines categories like Authentication Failures to better align with current security challenges. GitGuardian is highlighted as a practical tool to address these risks, particularly in managing non-human identities and protecting against supply chain breaches by scanning for leaked credentials and implementing lifecycle governance. These updates underscore OWASP's focus on root causes and offer a roadmap for organizations to strengthen their security posture in alignment with evolving threats.
