Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Description Year
SQL Injection Allows attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries on your database. N/A
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Permits attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users. N/A
Remote Code Execution (RCE) Allows attackers to execute code on the server remotely, often leading to full control. N/A
File Inclusion Vulnerabilities Lets attackers include files from the server, potentially leading to code execution. N/A
Command Injection Allows execution of arbitrary system commands, potentially leading to server compromise. N/A
Remote File Inclusion (RFI) Similar to file inclusion but specifically involves remote files, often leading to code execution. N/A
Denial of Service (DoS) Attackers overwhelm a system, causing it to crash or become unavailable to users. N/A
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) Trick users into performing actions they didn’t intend, often resulting in unauthorized actions. N/A
Insecure Serialization Attackers manipulate serialized data to execute malicious code or gain unauthorized access. N/A
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Allows attackers to make requests to internal resources, potentially leading to data exposure. N/A

Architecture styles

Architecture Style Description Common Use Cases
Monolithic Architecture Single, self-contained application with all components tightly coupled. Small to medium-sized applications.
Microservices Architecture Divides application into small, independent services that communicate via APIs. Scalable web applications with modular development.
Client-Server Architecture Separates application into client (user interface) and server (logic and data). Web applications, email systems, remote access.
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Components as services that communicate via well-defined protocols. Enterprise systems integrating diverse services.
Event-Driven Architecture System responds to events, with event producers and consumers. Real-time applications, IoT systems.
Layered Architecture Divides components into logical layers (e.g., presentation, business logic, data access). Traditional web applications, enterprise software.
Pipe and Filter Architecture Data flows through a series of filters, each processing a part of the data. Data processing, multimedia applications.
Repository Architecture Centralized data store used by components, providing a consistent interface to data. Enterprise applications, data-driven systems.
Peer-to-Peer Architecture Nodes communicate directly, enabling distributed systems without central coordination. File sharing, decentralized networks.
Event-Sourcing Architecture Captures all changes to an application’s state as a sequence of events. Financial systems, audit trails, complex workflows.
Domain-Driven Design (DDD) Focuses on modeling the domain and defining core concepts and their relationships. Complex business domains, software design clarity.
Big Data Architecture Handles processing, storage, and analysis of large datasets. Analytics platforms, large-scale data processing.
Cloud-Native Architecture Optimized for cloud environments, often using containers and microservices. Applications hosted on cloud platforms.
Serverless Architecture Infrastructure managed by cloud provider, only runs code in response to events. Event-driven applications, microservices.
