time of check to time of use (toctou) attacks
Time of check to time of use (TOCTOU) attacks refer to a security vulnerability where a system's behavior is exploited due to a time gap between when a resource is checked and when it is actually used. In these attacks, an attacker can modify or manipulate a resource between the time it is verified and the time it is utilized, leading to unexpected and potentially malicious outcomes.
