WebAssembly (Wasm) is an open standard that defines a portable binary-code format for executable programs, enabling near-native performance in web browsers and other environments. It is maintained by the W3C WebAssembly Community Group and is not a commercial software vendor but a community-driven specification. Its cybersecurity relevance stems from its role as a compilation target for languages like C, C++, and Rust, which introduces new attack surfaces and memory safety considerations in web applications.
