Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- HTTP DoS An attacker performs flooding at the HTTP level to bring down only a particular web application rather than anything listening on a TCP/IP connection. This denial of service attack requires substantially fewer packets to be sent which makes DoS harder to detect. This is an equivalent of SYN flood in HTTP. The idea is to keep the HTTP session alive indefinitely and then repeat that hundreds of times. This attack targets resource depletion weaknesses in web server software. The web server will wait to attacker's responses on the initiated HTTP sessions while the connection threads are being exhausted.

description | mantis reports : Teun Beijers reported a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Edit Filter page which allows execution of arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) when displaying a filter with a crafted name. Prevent the attack by sanitizing the filter name before display. Omer Citak, Security Researcher at Netsparker, reported this vulnerability, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary code (if CSP settings permit it) through a crafted PATH_INFO on view_filters_page.php. Prevent the attack by sanitizing the output of $_SERVER[ |
