Security Misconfiguration occurs when a system or application is not set up correctly, leaving it vulnerable to attacks. This can happen due to default settings, incomplete setups, or overly permissive permissions. For example, if a web server is left with default credentials, it can be easily accessed by unauthorized users. These misconfigurations can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and other security incidents. Regular audits and updates are essential to identify and fix these vulnerabilities. Organizations should implement best practices and guidelines to ensure that their systems are securely configured and maintained over time.
