One of the most important project run by OWASP is Top 10 document, which outlines the 10 most critical security concerns for web applications. OWASP keeps on updating the list of Top 10 vulnerabilities every few years. The last updated list was last published in year 2021.

If you are a developer, then you should adopt this document and start the process of ensuring that your web applications minimize these risks.
