A vulnerability assessment is a systematic review of security weaknesses in an information system. It evaluates if the system is susceptible to any known vulnerabilities, assigns severity levels to those vulnerabilities, and recommends remediation or mitigation, if and whenever needed.
The OWASP Top 10 provides rankings of—and remediation guidance for—the top 10 most critical web application security risks. Leveraging the extensive knowledge and experience of the OWASP’s open community contributors, the report is based on a consensus among security experts from around the world.
What is broken authentication?
Broken authentication is a widely used term reflecting a combination of vulnerabilities related to authentication and flawed implementations of session management functionalities. It lets threat agents exploit weaknesses in session and credentials management implementations.

Control session length
Rotate and invalidate session IDs
Do not put session IDs in URLs
