Web application security risk awareness document / OWASP Top 10:2025 (final)

OWASP Top 10

The OWASP Top 10:2025 is a final awareness document describing widely seen web application security risks. It is meant to educate and to start conversations about application security, not to be a complete testing standard. It is distinct from the OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications; mixing the two leads people to treat prompt injection as just another XSS row or to ignore it entirely.

What it helps you do

Give developers, testers, and buyers a shared, limited list of web risk themes to discuss, train, and prioritize awareness. Riverstone can use it when talking about TrackPort’s parser, session handling, and access control, then move to verifiable requirements such as ASVS for actual testing depth.

A useful way to begin

  1. Read the 2025 introduction and treat the list as awareness, then pick one TrackPort risk to test for real.
  2. Keep the LLM Top 10 and prompt-injection guidance in a separate conversation from classic web risks.
  3. Link awareness items to SAST/DAST/SCA evidence rather than to a poster in the hallway.
  4. Use a requirements project such as ASVS when you need testable depth beyond awareness.

What evidence could look like

  • A TrackPort test note that a 2025 awareness item was exercised in staging, with pass/fail evidence.
  • A design review that explicitly says which Top 10 themes were out of scope for a given release.
