The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document for web application security. It represents the most critical security risks to web applications, updated in 2021 to include: Broken Access Control (A01), Cryptographic Failures (A02), Injection (A03), Insecure Design (A04), Security Misconfiguration (A05), Vulnerable & Outdated Components (A06), Identification & Authentication Failures (A07), Software & Data Integrity Failures (A08), Security Logging & Monitoring Failures (A09), and SSRF (A10).

Question 2

How does this OWASP checklist generator work?

Accepted Answer

You describe your application profile (type, tech stack, authentication method, database, and features), and the generator creates a prioritized test checklist tailored to your specific context. For example, if you select JWT authentication, it adds JWT-specific attack tests. If you select MongoDB, it adds NoSQL injection tests. Each test case includes severity rating, description, and links to relevant Payload Playground tools.

Question 3

Can I export the OWASP checklist?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can export your checklist as Markdown (for documentation and reports) or JSON (for integration with other tools). Your progress is automatically saved to localStorage, so you can return and continue where you left off. There is also a print-friendly view.
