Server Bugs
Server bugs are often found and patched in a timely fashion that does not allow an attacker to
utilize the threat against an E-Commerce web site. However, system administrators are often
slow to implement the newest updates, thus allowing an attacker sufficient time to generate a
threat.
With the millions of web servers in use around the world, thousands often go without
timely patches, leaving them vulnerable to an onslaught of server bugs and threats (Khusial,
McKegney, 2005).

Super User Exploits
Super user exploits allow attackers to gain control of a system as if they were an administrator.
They often use scripts to manipulate a database or a buffer overflow attack that cripples a
system, much like a Denial of Service attack for the purpose of gaining control of the system.
Users can create scripts that manipulate a browser into funneling information from sources, such
as databases.
Despite the various attacks on e-commerce, there are various defenses as (Khusial, McKegney,
2005) noted below.
