Fat client applications running on (usually) Windows are still extremely common in enterprises. [..] -traditional- fat client applications will most of the time connect directly to a database (again, since we-re looking at Windows environment primarily here, this will be most of the time a Microsoft SQL Server database). [..] Finally, how do we prevent this? Well, one solution is easy - do not use SQL Server authentication but instead have users use their Windows credentials

Smashing the state machine: the true potential of web race conditions
For too long, web race condition attacks have focused on a tiny handful of scenarios. Their true potential has been masked thanks to tricky workflows, missing tooling, and simple network jitter hiding all but the most trivial, obvious examples. In this paper, Ill introduce new classes of race condition that go far beyond the limit-overrun exploits youre probably already familiar with.
