Web applications are a critical part of modern businesses, handling sensitive data and providing essential services. However, insecure web applications are a prime target for cybercriminals, leading to data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. At CyberHQ, we offer comprehensive Web Application Penetration Testing (Web PT) services to identify vulnerabilities, mitigate risks, and enhance the security of your web applications.

Why Web Application Security Matters?

Web applications often store and process confidential business and customer data. A single vulnerability can lead to:

  • Data leaks exposing sensitive user and corporate information
  • Unauthorized access allowing attackers to exploit business functionalities
  • Injection attacks such as SQL Injection compromising databases
  • Broken authentication & session management leading to account takeovers
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) affecting user trust and site integrity
  • Denial of Service (DoS) attacks causing service disruptions

Our Web Application Penetration Testing Approach

CyberHQ follows a structured methodology aligned with OWASP Web Security Top 10 and industry best practices. Our process includes:

1. Reconnaissance & Information Gathering

  • Identifying exposed web endpoints and application architecture
  • Analyzing web technologies and third-party integrations
  • Reviewing authentication mechanisms and user roles

2. Authentication & Authorization Testing

  • Testing for weak login mechanisms and insecure password policies
  • Identifying flaws in role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA)
  • Assessing OAuth, JWT, and session management security

3. Input Validation & Injection Attacks

  • SQL, NoSQL, and command injection testing
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) assessments
  • Parameter tampering and insecure direct object reference (IDOR) testing

4. Business Logic & Workflow Manipulation

  • Identifying bypasses in payment gateways and checkout processes
  • Testing for improper rate limiting and mass assignment vulnerabilities
  • Evaluating session fixation and broken state management risks

5. Data Storage & Transmission Security

  • Assessing encryption mechanisms (TLS, AES, etc.)
  • Identifying insecure data storage and session management issues
  • Testing for improper exposure of sensitive data through error messages

6. Security Misconfigurations & Hardening

  • Checking for misconfigured HTTP headers and content security policies
  • Identifying unnecessary open ports and services
  • Evaluating logging and monitoring capabilities for threat detection

7. Reporting & Remediation Guidance

  • Detailed vulnerability report with risk ratings
  • Proof-of-Concept (PoC) exploitation for critical findings
  • Actionable remediation steps to secure web applications
