Challenges

  • In most cases, passwords and user authentication can be weak links that lead to unauthorized access.

  • Sensitive data—passwords and credit card details, most notably—can be exposed when not well protected.

  • Misconfigurations may leave your sensitive data open to unauthorized access.

  • Exposing IDs and keys within URLs can make your system vulnerable.

  • Untrusted data that appears on a web page without proper validation can be used to carry out cross-site scripting attacks.

  • Injection flaws arise from injection problems that manifest when untrusted data is sent as a command or query.

  • Poor default settings and misconfigured security settings can be an open door to systems.

  • Unpatched software can act like soft targets for cybercriminals.

  • Brute-force attacks using weak or re-used passwords.

  • Allows an attacker to send malicious requests from a server, thus circumventing access controls.

  • Data breaches from incorrectly implemented cryptographic systems.

  • Not enough logging and monitoring may result in your system being insufficiently enabled to detect attacks.

  • Design flaws usually produce vulnerabilities that are difficult to mitigate later in development.

  • Not understanding the shared responsibility model in cloud environments may lead to security gaps.

Solutions

Case Study: How Can a Leading Tire Manufacturer Strengthen Web Application Security to Protect Sensitive Customer Data?

Mobile Testing Client Profile

The client is a leading tire manufacturer focusing on developing and manufacturing a diverse tire portfolio that delivers social and customer value. As an industry leader in transportation, the client has a large fleet of software deployed that they use for different operations. They excel at offering best-in-class offerings to consumers around the world.

Mobile Testing The Hurdle

Web application security testing is critical to ensuring the security and reliability of web-based applications. As a large company, the customer possesses a large database of sensitive data, including customer data and PII information, which is an appealing target for hackers. To ensure that the existing security measures are effective enough to protect all the assets from unauthorized access, the customer decided to evaluate the level of security to eliminate any existing security issues.

Mobile Testing Our Approach

An expert team of security testing specialists was assigned to this project. All the sensitive areas were included in the scope, and the team followed a four-step process:

  • Reconnaissance

    The team started by gathering information about the application and its environment. This includes identifying web server type, application framework, database, and API.

  • Vulnerability Scanning
    This step used a mix of tools to perform different kinds of security scans and identify the application's loopholes.

  • Exploitation
    Security engineers attempted to exploit any vulnerabilities identified in the previous steps. This involved attempts to gain unauthorized access to the application or its underlying systems or to escalate privileges.

  • Reporting
    Finally, the team documented all the identified vulnerabilities and provided recommendations for remediation. The report includes a description of the vulnerabilities, their potential impact, and a recommendation for mitigating them.

Mobile Testing The Transformation

The penetration testing identified several vulnerabilities in the application, including:

  • SQL Injection Vulnerability

    The application was found to be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks, which could allow an attacker to access the database and steal sensitive information.

  • Cross-site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability
    The application was also found to be vulnerable to XSS attacks, which could allow an attacker to execute malicious code in the user's browser.

  • DoS (denial-of-service)
    Testers were able to send thousands of requests from a single source, which caused the application to be down for some time, leading to financial losses and reputational damage.

  • Unauthorized Access to the Application
    The application was also found to be vulnerable to unauthorized access, which can result in security breaches, data leaks, unauthorized modifications, and other malicious activities that can compromise its confidentiality.

Based on the results of the penetration testing, the following recommendations were made to the client:

  • Implement input validation to prevent SQL injection attacks.
  • Implement measures to prevent XSS attacks, such as input filtering and output encoding.
  • Implement a more robust password policy, requiring users to choose complex passwords and enforcing password expiration policies.

The penetration testing successfully identified several vulnerabilities in the web application. By addressing these vulnerabilities, we improved the application's security and protected sensitive information.
