There are many attacks that can be used against web apps. These attacks would become successful provided if your Website is vulnerable:

I will list for you common web apps vulnerabilities:
1. SQLi - SQL Injection
2. XSS - Cross Site Scripting
3. RFi - Remote File Inclusion
4. Directory Transversal
5. DoS - Denial of Service

and lots more, but these are the commonest, especially SQLi

So it depends on the nature of your Web App. Is it a CMS like Joomla or WordPress or a custom Web App? Was it developed with ASP,PHP, or JSP.

Another thing is that, is your website hosted on a secured web server?

Avoid shared hosting, because your site an be hacked through symlinking. Edit your .htaccess to accept only your ip address. You can read more here http://netmediablog.com/recent-wordpress-hack-attempts-and-how-to-stay-safe
