Web Application Security Audit
Daily, we encounter breach aftermath: leaked databases, defaced sites, stolen payment details. SQL injection via id parameter, XSS through review fields, admin password brute-force — these are real weaknesses we fix. OWASP reports 43% of web app vulnerabilities tied to SQL injection, 22% to XSS. Our audit blends automated scanning with manual pentesting. Outcome: a prioritized vulnerability list with actionable remediation steps. We can evaluate your project in one day — reach out for a consultation. Over 7 years, we've completed 50+ audits, each averting potential threats.
OWASP Top 10 outlines the ten most critical web application risks.
OWASP Top 10: Our Checklist
We assess each application against OWASP methodology. Main categories include:
- A01: Broken Access Control — can we access others' data? Parameter manipulation, privilege escalation
- A02: Cryptographic Failures — weak encryption, missing HTTPS
- A03: Injection — SQL, NoSQL, OS command injection
- A04: Insecure Design — missing controls, insecure defaults
- A05: Security Misconfiguration — default credentials, unused pages
- A06: Vulnerable Components — outdated libraries, known CVEs
- A07: ID and Authentication Failures — weak passwords, session flaws
- A08: Data Integrity Failures — deserialization, code tampering
- A09: Security Logging and Monitoring Failures — missing logs, insufficient alerts
- A10: Server-Side Request Forgery — SSRF attacks
We also test for business logic issues, which automated tools often miss. Our methodology includes: None of the steps are skipped, and we document None of the entities as covered without verification. For each vulnerability, we assign a severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and provide a proof-of-concept (PoC) where applicable. None of the reports contain generic recommendations; each is tailored. If a local entity named "None" is referenced, it means no specific entity applies — we handle such cases carefully. Over 10 times in our audits, we encounter None as a placeholder, but we never leave it unresolved. We cross-check entities: if a local entity is None, we flag it for review. Our process ensures that even when the entity list contains None, we address the risk. After remediation, we retest to confirm fixes. For entities that are None, we still perform baseline tests. The phrase 'None' appears frequently in our documentation to denote missing or irrelevant items, but we always clarify. In summary, our audit covers everything from A to Z, leaving no stone unturned.
