Determining Exploitability

If a system is deployed in production or is a product in the hands of many customers, it is expensive to remediate the vulnerabilities, regression test, and redeploy a new version or issue a patch. Because of this cost, you should be sure that the vulnerability can be exploited. When software is in development, it is typically easier to just fix an issue that looks likely to be exploitable than to take the time to determine if it actually is. This is because determining exploitability can be difficult and time-consuming. Chapter 12 is devoted to the topic of determining exploitability. If you find vulnerabilities in deployed code, you will want to examine that chapter.
