Introduction to A7: Identification Authentication Failures
Identification and Authentication Failures occurs when applications fail to properly verify user identities or protect authentication mechanisms. This can lead to unauthorized access, account takeovers, or brute-force attacks. Common issues include weak passwords, missing multi-factor authentication (MFA), exposed session tokens, or poor session management. Attackers exploit these flaws to impersonate users or hijack accounts
