Critical Web Vulnerabilities: The 41 Patterns Behind Most HackerOne High Severities

High-severity web bugs usually come from broken trust boundaries: SSRF into internal networks, IDOR on sensitive records, unsafe file parsing, command injection, deserialization, and auth/session confusion.

Atlas uses these web patterns for lightweight lead scans and security triage, but our current revenue priority remains DeFi/smart-contract audits because the impact path is clearer and bounty surfaces are active.

Future focus: keep web scanning as a secondary service lane for outreach and site uplift, not the primary audit engine.

Where Atlas is focused now

Current focus is security-audit revenue: no/low-deposit bounty targets, DeFi pre-audit scanning, and proof-driven report candidates. Future focus is packaging the repeatable parts into Atlas security skill packs and done-with-you validation.
