Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities

Many applications use third-party libraries, frameworks, or other components. If these components have known vulnerabilities and are not updated, attackers can exploit them to compromise the application.

<script src="https://example.com/old-library.js"></script>

In this example, the web application includes an outdated JavaScript library with known security vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to launch attacks against the application.

To mitigate this risk, keep all components, libraries, and frameworks up to date. Regularly check for security advisories and patches related to the components used in the application.
