What is vulnerability?



What is vulnerability?..

Answer / pa

In computer security, the word vulnerability refers to a
weakness in a system allowing an attacker to violate the
confidentiality, integrity, availability [i.e (C.I.A)
NSTISSC's triangle], access control, consistency or audit
mechanisms of the system or the data and applications it
hosts. Vulnerabilities may result from bugs or design flaws
in the system. A vulnerability can exist either only in
theory, or could have a known exploit. Vulnerabilities are
of significant interest when the program containing the
vulnerability operates with special privileges, performs
authentication or provides easy access to user data or
facilities (such as a network server or RDBMS).

If we write a script in the expert view how are the objects created in the object repository? to be clear i will explain my problem first i have recorded the mercurytours application by providing the link www.mercurytours.com and all the objects are stored in the object repository ok this is fine. but i have copied the script generated in the above processes and pasted in a new test and tried to run that script but as the objects were not stored in the object repository it showed an error (The "Welcome: Mercury Tours" object was not found in the Object Repository. Check the Object Repository to confirm that the object exists or to find the correct name for the object).so how can i overcome that error
