A06:2025 — Insecure Design
Verified by Precogs Threat Research
What is Insecure Design (OWASP A06:2025)?
Risks from missing or ineffective security controls at the design level. Unlike implementation bugs, insecure design cannot be fixed by a perfect implementation; the design itself must be changed. Includes threat modeling failures, missing security patterns, and insufficient isolation.
Impact
Represents a shift toward threat modeling and secure design patterns. Insecure design leads to vulnerabilities that no amount of coding best practices can prevent.
