In an increasingly digital world, web-based applications have become the cornerstone of business operations and personal activities. However, this widespread use also exposes these platforms to a variety of security vulnerabilities. This paper aims to shed light on the pressing question: “How secure are our web applications?” Through an exhaustive review of existing literature, we catalog the most frequently mentioned vulnerabilities of web applications and cloud-hosted services, as well as the tools commonly cited for their detection. This survey serves as a critical resource for cybersecurity professionals, policy makers, and anyone invested in web security, emphasizing the need for vigilant cybersecurity measures.
