Description
A Website Vulnerability Assessment (WVA) is a process of systematically identifying and evaluating security weaknesses within a website or web application. It aims to uncover vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access, steal data, deface the website, or disrupt its operations.
Technical Data
How to do it? | |
---|---|
Information Gathering | Gather details about the website's technology stack (programming languages, frameworks, CMS, etc.), architecture, and functionalities. |
Automated Scanning | Employ web vulnerability scanners to crawl the website and identify common vulnerabilities like: |
SQL Injection | Manipulating database queries to extract or modify data. |
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) | Injecting malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users. |
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) | Tricking a user's browser into performing unwanted actions on a trusted website. |
File Inclusion Vulnerabilities | Exploiting insecure file handling to execute malicious code. |
Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) | Directly accessing unauthorized resources due to improper access controls. |
Outdated Components | Using libraries or plugins with known security flaws. |
Manual Testing | Supplement automated scans with manual testing by security experts to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss: |
Business Logic Flaws | Exploiting non-technical vulnerabilities in the application's logic. |
Authentication and Authorization Issues | Bypassing login mechanisms or accessing restricted areas. |
Configuration Errors | Misconfigurations in web servers, databases, or application settings. |
Analyze Results | Review the scan results and manual findings. Understand the severity and potential impact of each vulnerability. |
Prioritize Remediation | Based on the criticality of vulnerabilities, prioritize which ones to address first. |
Remediate | Take necessary actions to fix the identified vulnerabilities: |
Apply Patches | Update software and plugins to the latest secure versions. |
Input Validation | Implement strong input validation to prevent malicious data. |
Parameterization | Use parameterized queries to avoid SQL injection. |
Output Encoding | Encode user-supplied data to prevent XSS. |
Secure Configuration | Follow security best practices for web servers and databases. |
Access Control | Implement proper authentication and authorization mechanisms. |
