Digital revolution of the age offered e-commerce apps an opportunity that they needed for prevailing in the market place. Although, such applications are usually protected by cyber security measures, hackers can easily exploit some of vulnerabilities to break through the security system. That is so e-commerce actions to be safeguarded and personal data to be fully protected it is so important to do this proactively and be able to define the vulnerabilities.

• Insecure Coding Practices: Incomplete input riddling is a danger if the lack of proper validation and error handling is there. Such issues are exploited by attackers to gain inroads to the system.

• Authentication and Authorization Flaws: Poor authentication and insufficient access controls might enable the adversaries to get through security barriers and acquire valuable data and functionalities.

• Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): An attacker can put XSS vulnerability into the context to inject malicious code into a web app which can lead to data theft or account hijacking.

• SQL Injection: In the case of wrong input handlerings in database query operations the program can become vulnerable to SQL injection attacks which might pose a threat to the significant part of the data.

• Outdated Software and Plugins: Not upgrading and deploying known security patches can easily expose applications to the vulnerabilities of the exploits they are known to have.

To mitigate these risks, businesses should adopt a comprehensive security approach, including:

• The implementation of the secure coding techniques important are input validation, data encoding and secure error handling.

• Implementing effective authentication and authorization mechanisms as multi-factor authentication and role-based access controls, encompassing the application by choice.

• Testing for vulnerabilities is the vital component of a closing loop security where code reviews, penetration testing and security audits are being used.

• Upgrading to the newest versions of software, plugins and function libraries that contain security updates and fixes.

• Educating developers and employees part of the workforce on digital security awareness. We should be supporting each other with vigilance against cyber attacks.

Through the application of the cybersecurity and an engagement in proactive cybersecurity actions, businesses can augment the quality of defense against the cyber attacks, protecting the trust, the data integrity and the intact business continuity of the firms in the digital environment.
