The homepage does a very poor job of giving any context, so for those who (like me) who have no clue what they're looking at: This list represents a broad consensus about the most critical security risks to web applications. See https://owasp.org/www-project-top-ten/ for more details (OWASP = "Open Web Application Security Project").
Just to give some more context; this is a list that has been updated every 2-4 years since around 2004 or so. A lot of orgs treat it as the minimum a developer needs to know in terms of security, so it's time well spent looking through it (IMO)
"The Open Web Application Security Project® (OWASP) is a nonprofit foundation that works to improve the security of software. Through community-led open-source software projects, hundreds of local chapters worldwide, tens of thousands of members, and leading educational and training conferences, the OWASP Foundation is the source for developers and technologists to secure the web."
About the OWASP Top 10
"The OWASP Top 10 is a book/referential document outlining the 10 most critical security concerns for web application security. The report is put together by a team of security experts from all over the world and the data comes from a number of organisations and is then analysed."
Seems pretty spot on to me. And OWASP should be very well known by anyone working in the web field.
