What is the new A03 Supply Chain Failure in OWASP 2025?

This new category addresses risks in third-party libraries, CI/CD pipelines, and build processes. It expands on the old 'Vulnerable Components' to cover the entire software supply chain.

Why is 'Mishandling of Exceptional Conditions' new in 2025?

This new A10 category focuses on how apps crash or fail. Poor error handling can leak stack traces or leave systems in a vulnerable state, which attackers can exploit.

Is SSRF still in the Top 10?

SSRF (Server-Side Request Forgery) has been merged into 'A01: Broken Access Control' for 2025, acknowledging that it is fundamentally an access control failure.

What is the average salary of a Web Security Professional in India?

Beginners start at ₹4-7 LPA. Intermediate professionals earn ₹8-15 LPA, while experts and Bug Bounty hunters can earn ₹20+ LPA.

Will I learn Bug Bounty Hunting?

Yes, we cover Bug Bounty methodology, report writing, and platforms like HackerOne and Bugcrowd.

Do I need to know programming?

Basic understanding of HTML, JavaScript, and SQL is essential. You must understand how code works to break it.

What tools are covered?

We cover Burp Suite Professional, OWASP ZAP, SQLmap, Nmap, Metasploit, DirBuster, and various reconnaissance tools.

Is there hands-on practice?

Yes, we use labs like DVWA, bWAPP, PortSwigger Web Security Academy, and live target practice.

Does CyberEdu provide placement?

Yes, we offer 100% placement assistance, mock interviews, and resume building.

What certifications can I take?

This course prepares you for CEH, eWPT, and OSCP certifications.

Updated Curriculum

OWASP Top 10 (2025 Edition)

Learn the absolute latest standards in web security.

A01: Broken Access Control

Still #1. Includes SSRF. Exploiting IDORs, privilege escalation, and bypassing authorization checks.

A02: Security Misconfiguration

Moved up to #2. Unpatched systems, default accounts, and open cloud storage buckets.

A03: Supply Chain Failures

NEW for 2025. Compromised CI/CD pipelines, malicious dependencies (NPM/Pip), and third-party risk.

A04: Cryptographic Failures

Identifying weak encryption, sensitive data exposure, and mishandling of passwords/keys.

A05: Injection

Classic SQL Injection (SQLi), Command Injection, and now Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is fully merged here.

A06: Insecure Design

Architectural flaws. Missing threat modeling and logical vulnerabilities that code fixes can't solve.

A07: Authentication Failures

Brute-forcing, credential stuffing, session hijacking, and weak Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

A08: Integrity Failures

Code signing issues and deserialization vulnerabilities where data integrity is not verified.

A09: Logging & Alerting

Blind spots. How attackers evade detection and the failure to log critical security events.

A10: Exceptional Conditions

NEW for 2025. How apps crash. Exploiting poor error handling to reveal stack traces or bypass checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Web VAPT course.

A03 is a major 2025 update. It goes beyond just "old components" to include the entire software supply chain—CI/CD, build tools, and malicious libraries.

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) was merged into A01: Broken Access Control, as it is fundamentally an access control issue.

In India, beginners start at ₹4-7 LPA. Experienced pentesters and bug bounty hunters often earn ₹20+ LPA.

Yes. Understanding PHP helps with SQLi/RCE, and JavaScript is crucial for XSS (Cross-Site Scripting).

Burp Suite is the industry standard. We cover it in depth, along with SQLmap for automation and Nmap for network scanning.

Yes. You will work on labs like DVWA, bWAPP, PortSwigger Academy, and live authorized targets.

Yes, you will receive a "Certified Web Security Professional" certificate from CyberEdu.

It varies, but critical bugs (P1) on platforms like HackerOne can pay $5,000 to $15,000+ per vulnerability.

Yes, we have tie-ups with security firms and provide full placement assistance upon course completion.

A standard laptop with 8GB RAM is sufficient for Web VAPT as most tools are not resource-heavy.
