The OWASP Top 10 Web Application Security Risks for 2010 are:

  • A1: Injection
  • A2: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • A3: Broken Authentication and Session Management
  • A4: Insecure Direct Object References
  • A5: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
  • A6: Security Misconfiguration
  • A7: Insecure Cryptographic Storage
  • A8: Failure to Restrict URL Access
  • A9: Insufficient Transport Layer Protection
  • A10: Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards
It has now been weighted based on the actual risk exposed by such vulnerabilities based upon OWASP Risk Rating Methodology, while the 2007 version was focused on common vulnerabilities. There has also been some changes since the release candidate:

For application (security) testers the A10 (Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards) is one of the new items on the list that doesn't have a mapping to the OWASP Testing Guide yet, but that is a matter of time before it is created. There has been some changes since the release candidate as well:
