14. WEBGOAT
is a deliberately insecure web application designed to
teach web application security lessons.

15. A1 – INJECTION
User input injected without checking
 SQL Injection example
 LDAP, Command, XPATH, …

16. A2 – SESSION MANAGEMENT
1. Session Hijacking
 Stealing authenticated user’s session ID
2. Session Fixation
 Forcing user’s session ID
 Example

17. A3 – CROSS-SITE SCRIPTING (XSS)
Untrusted data sent to victim without validation and / or
escaping
XSS allows attackers to execute script in browsers to:
 hijacking users’ sessions,
 redirecting user to malicious site,
 …
1. Reflected XSS example
2. Stored XSS example

18. A5 – SECURITY MISCONFIGURATION
 Secure configuration defined and deployed for the:
 application,
 frameworks,
 application server,
 web server,
 database server,
 platform.
 Example

19. A6 – SENSITIVE DATA EXPOSURE
Protect sensitive data (credit cards, authentication
credentials, ...)
Encryption at rest or in transit

20. A7 – MISSING ACCESS CONTROL
Verify function level acces:
 before making functionality visible in GUI ✓
 when each function is accessed ✗
Access control bypass example

21. A8 – CROSS-SITE REQUEST FORGERY
2. User visits forum.com 1. User authenticates to bank.com
3. Page contains tag
<img
src=bank.com/transfer.jsp?account=atta
cker&amount=300000>
CSRF example
4. User’s browser makes GET request
bank.com/transfer.jsp?account=attacker&
amount=300000
without user knowing

22. A10 – UNVALIDATED REDIRECT
1. Lure the user into clicking a redirect link
http://www.trusted.com/redirector?to=http://www.evil.com
2. Code does not perform any validation
String location = (String) request.getParameter(« to »);
response.sendRedirect(location);
3. User thinks (s)he’s accessing trusted.com but is in fact
at evil.com
