Introduction to A06: Vulnerable and Outdated Components
Vulnerable and Outdated Components addresses the risk of using software libraries, frameworks, or other dependencies that have known security flaws.

Common examples include outdated JavaScript libraries, old CMS plugins, or unsupported server software.
