Exercise 3: Same Vulnerabilities, Still a Necessary Chapter — Possible Solution ==================================================================== WHY NONE OF THE VULNERABILITY CLASSES ARE NEW ------------------------------ Per this chapter's own closing synthesis, every issue it covers maps directly onto categories OWASP Top 10 already taught in general - Broken Access Control, Injection, Security Misconfiguration/ Vulnerable Components, and Cryptographic Failures. The chapter states this outright: "None of it is new to e-commerce specifically." WHY THIS CHAPTER IS STILL NECESSARY ------------------------------ Per this chapter, what changes on a store is "what a successful exploit is actually worth to an attacker: real payment fraud, a real customer PII breach with genuine legal exposure under regimes like GDPR, and direct revenue loss - not merely reputational embarrassment." The chapter is necessary not because it teaches new attack techniques, but because it applies the already-known techniques to specific, concrete store surfaces (checkout, order lookup, saved account fields) where the general principle alone doesn't make clear exactly where and how severely it applies. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ It correctly states that the vulnerability classes are the same ones already taught elsewhere on the site, and correctly explains that the chapter's real value is applying those same classes to store-specific surfaces and consequences, not inventing new categories of vulnerability.
