Business Logic Vulnerabilities
Business logic vulnerabilities are flaws in the design and implementation of an application that allow an attacker to misuse the application's functionality. These vulnerabilities are often unique to the application and cannot be detected by automated scanners.
Common Types of Business Logic Vulnerabilities
- Price Manipulation: An attacker can change the price of an item to any value they want.
- Coupon Abuse: An attacker can use a one-time coupon an unlimited number of times.
- Workflow Bypass: An attacker can bypass a required step in a workflow.
Prevention Methods
- Threat Modeling: Threat modeling is a process for identifying and mitigating potential threats to an application.
- Code Reviews: Code reviews can help to identify business logic flaws that may not be apparent from the outside.
- Manual Testing: Manual testing is essential for finding business logic vulnerabilities, as they are often unique to the application.
