Task 1:Introduction
In modern web applications, OAuth vulnerabilities emerge as a serious and frequently disregarded risk; when we talk about OAuth, we’re talking about OAuth 2.0, the commonly used authorisation framework. The vulnerabilities occur when hackers take advantage of weaknesses in OAuth 2.0, which allows for CSRF, XSS, data leakage and exploitation of other vulnerabilities.
Task 2:Key Concepts
This task will discuss the key concepts for understanding OAuth, specifically OAuth 2.0. These concepts form the foundation for understanding how the OAuth 2.0 framework was built. As a pentester or a secure coder, it is essential to understand these concepts to pentest a website or write code without a vulnerability. To make these concepts more relatable, we will explain them through a daily routine example: using a coffee shop’s mobile app to order and pay for coffee.
