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| Outdated Components | Using libraries or plugins with known security flaws.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. |
