Kingdom: Security Features

Software security is not security software. Here we're concerned with topics like authentication, access control, confidentiality, cryptography, and privilege management.

Access Control: Administrative Interface

Universal

Abstract

Failure to restrict access to administrative interfaces might allow an attacker to gain complete control over the application.

Explanation

Vulnerabilities in the administrative interface can result in an increased threat to the web application. Restrict access to the administrative interface to an isolated network.
