Common Web Application Vulnerabilities

SQL Injection

Description: SQL Injection occurs when malicious SQL code is inserted into an input field, potentially compromising the backend database. Attackers can manipulate SQL queries to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Impact: Data loss, unauthorized access to sensitive information, and potential compromise of the entire database.

Example: An attacker can input the following payload in a login form: ' OR 1=1 -- , which bypasses authentication and gives access to the application.

Prevention: Use prepared statements and parameterized queries, validate and sanitize user inputs, and implement Web Application Firewalls (WAF).

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Description: XSS allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages. These scripts can execute in the user's browser, stealing session cookies, login credentials, or redirecting users to malicious websites.

Impact: Data theft, session hijacking, and redirection to malicious sites. It can also be used to perform actions on behalf of the user without their consent.

Example Attack: An attacker can inject a script like <script>alert('XSS Attack')</script> into a comment field, which will execute in the victim's browser.

Prevention: Sanitize user inputs, use Content Security Policy (CSP), and escape output to prevent script execution.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

Description: CSRF exploits the trust a user has for a particular website by tricking them into making a request they did not intend. It forces authenticated users to perform actions on a site without their consent.

Impact: Unauthorized actions such as changing account settings, making financial transactions, or modifying sensitive information.

Example Attack: An attacker can trick a user into clicking a link that changes their email address or transfers money from their account.

Prevention: Use anti-CSRF tokens, implement SameSite cookies, and validate the origin of requests to prevent unauthorized actions.

Remote Code Execution (RCE)

Description: RCE vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable server. This can lead to the complete compromise of the system, including data theft, unauthorized access, and even full control over the server.

Impact: Complete system compromise, data theft, malware installation, and unauthorized access to the server and its resources.

Example Attack: An attacker can upload a malicious PHP file to a vulnerable server, which when executed, can give the attacker full control over the server.

Prevention: Ensure that only authorized users can upload files, validate and sanitize uploaded files, and restrict the execution of dangerous file types.

Insecure Deserialization

Description: Insecure deserialization occurs when data is deserialized without proper validation. Attackers can inject malicious objects that can compromise the application, leading to remote code execution or data manipulation.

Impact: Remote code execution, data manipulation, and unauthorized access to the application.

Example Attack: An attacker can send a maliciously crafted object that, when deserialized, executes harmful code on the server.

Prevention: Validate and sanitize serialized data, use digital signatures to ensure integrity, and avoid deserializing untrusted data.

Directory Traversal

Description: Directory traversal allows attackers to access files and directories outside the web root folder by manipulating file paths.

Impact: Unauthorized access to sensitive files and system information.

Example Attack: Using "../" sequences to navigate to restricted directories: ../../etc/passwd

Prevention: Validate file paths, use whitelisting, and restrict file system access.

Unrestricted File Upload

Description: Allows attackers to upload malicious files that can be executed on the server.

Impact: Server compromise, malware distribution, and defacement.

Example Attack: Uploading a PHP shell disguised as an image file.

Prevention: Validate file types, implement file size limits, and scan uploaded files for malware.

Authentication Bypass

Description: Flaws that allow attackers to bypass login mechanisms and gain unauthorized access.

Impact: Unauthorized access to user accounts and admin panels.

Example Attack: Manipulating cookies or session tokens to impersonate other users.

Prevention: Implement strong authentication mechanisms, session management, and access controls.

XML External Entity (XXE)

Description: Vulnerability in XML processing that allows inclusion of external entities.

Impact: Server-side file disclosure, denial of service, and internal network scanning.

Example Attack: Including malicious external entities in XML input to read sensitive files.

Prevention: Disable XML external entity processing and validate XML input.

Bug Report

Title: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability in Search Functionality

Severity: High

Risk Level: Critical

Impact: Possible account takeover, session hijacking, and exposure of sensitive user data.

Description

The vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript into the search field, which is then executed in the browser of any user accessing the results page. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data theft, and potential exploitation of users visiting the affected page.

Steps to Reproduce

Navigate to the search page at https://example.com/search.
Enter the following payload in the search field:
Submit the search query.
Observe that the script is executed in the browser, confirming the vulnerability.

Technical Details

Affected URL: https://example.com/search
Payload Used: alert('XSS')
Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Attack Vector: Unsanitized user input in the search field allows execution of malicious JavaScript.
Exploitation Impact: An attacker can steal cookies, redirect users, or execute unauthorized actions.

Remediation Steps

Sanitize and escape all user inputs before rendering them on the page to prevent script injection.
Implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts.
Perform validation both on the client-side and server-side to ensure only safe inputs are accepted.
Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests to identify and resolve similar vulnerabilities.

Impact Assessment

The vulnerability poses a critical threat to the security of users and the application. If exploited, it could lead to data breaches, reputational damage, and potential legal consequences. Immediate action is required to mitigate the risks.
