OWASP Top 10 in 2026: What Changed for SaaS Teams

Broken access control and injection still dominate VAPT findings — but API abuse, SSRF, and AI prompt leakage are climbing fast in our 2026 assessment reports.

2026 threat landscape

Our VAPT reports across Indian SaaS clients show broken access control (BOLA/BFLA) remains the top finding. Multi-tenant architectures amplify impact when object-level authorization is missing.

API security rises in priority

GraphQL introspection, mass assignment, and rate-limit bypasses appear in over 60% of API assessments. OpenAPI-driven fuzzing catches issues that web scanners miss.

AI and LLM-specific risks

Prompt injection, training data leakage, and insecure output handling are new categories SaaS teams must address when shipping AI features. Guardrails and output filtering are essential.

Prioritizing remediation

Use CVSS as a starting point but prioritize by exploitability and business impact. Chained low-severity issues often create critical paths in real attacks.

Frequently asked questions

The OWASP Top 10 is a standard awareness document listing the most critical web application security risks, updated periodically based on real-world data.

At minimum annually and after major releases. High-growth SaaS products benefit from continuous DAST plus quarterly manual penetration tests.
