Description: Framework security refers to the measures and practices implemented to protect a software framework from various vulnerabilities that may compromise the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of web applications. This includes identifying and mitigating risks associated with code injection, inadequate authentication and authorization, and exposure of sensitive data. Framework security encompasses both the architecture of the software and the specific configurations used during the development and deployment of applications. A secure framework not only provides tools and libraries that facilitate development but also includes defense mechanisms such as input validation, session management, and protection against common attacks like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). The importance of framework security lies in the fact that as web applications become more complex and interconnected, vulnerabilities can be exploited more easily and quickly, potentially resulting in financial losses and damage to organizations’ reputations. Therefore, implementing robust security practices within the framework is essential to ensure that applications are resilient to attacks and comply with data protection regulations.
