control-flow attack
A control-flow attack is a type of security vulnerability where an attacker manipulates the execution order of a computer program to gain unauthorized access or cause harm. It involves altering the sequence of instructions or redirecting program flow to subvert its intended behavior, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code or exploit software vulnerabilities.
