Security Misconfiguration

Security misconfiguration occurs when applications, servers, or databases are deployed with weak, outdated, or default settings. Such misconfigurations can expose systems to unauthorized access, data leaks, and exploitation of known vulnerabilities.

To mitigate security misconfigurations, always follow secure configuration baselines, disable unnecessary features, and change default credentials immediately. Regular security audits, patch management, and automated configuration scans help identify and fix misconfigurations before attackers exploit them.
