OWASP Nagpur - Attacking Web Applications Business Logic for Fun and ProfitOWASP Nagpur
This document discusses attacking business logic and access control lists (ACLs) for web applications. It begins by defining business logic as the part of an application that handles data creation, storage and updating. Business logic bugs can give undesired outputs and be exploited maliciously. The document focuses on finding such bugs through manual testing rather than automated tools, as manual testing can better understand an application's logic. It provides approaches like targeting suspicious parameters and diffing responses to different requests to find issues with a application's ACL implementation or business logic flaws. The goal is to encourage thorough manual testing to identify high severity vulnerabilities.

Application Security Testing for Software Engineers: An approach to build sof...Michael Hidalgo
This talk was presented at the 7th WCSQ World Congress for Software Quality in Lima, Perú on Wednesday, 22nd March 2017.
Writing secure code certainly is not an easy endeavor. In the book titled “Writing Secure Code: Practical Strategies and Proven Techniques for Building Secure Applications in a Networked World (Developer Best Practices)” authors Howard and LeBlanc talk about the so called attacker’s advantage and the defenders dilemma and they put into perspective the fact that developers (identified as defenders) must build better quality software because attackers have the advantage.
In this dilemma, software applications must be on a state of defense because attackers are out there taking advantage of any minor mistake, whereas the defender must be always vigilant, adding new features to the code, fixing issues, adding new engineers to the team. All this conditions are important when it comes to software security.
Sadly, strong understanding of software security principles is not always a characteristic of most software engineers but we can’t blame them. Writing code is a complex task per se, the abstraction level required, along with choosing and/or writing the accurate algorithm and dealing with tight schedules seems to be always a common denominator and the outcome when talking to developers.
This talk also includes techniques, tools and guidance that software engineers can use to perform Application Security testing during the development stage, enabling them to catch vulnerabilities at the time they are created.

The document discusses several common software development myths. It is written by a group of 7 software engineers. The myths discussed include: 1) that clients know exactly what they want, 2) that requirements are fixed, 3) that quality can't be assessed until a program is running, 4) that adding more people fixes schedule slips, 5) that security is only a cryptography problem, 6) that a tester's only task is to find bugs, 7) that testing can't begin until development is fully complete, and 8) that network defenses alone can provide protection. The document aims to dispel these myths and provide more accurate perspectives.

apidays LIVE India - 10 steps to secure your API by Pabitra Kumar Sahoo, Qual...apidays
The document discusses API security from a hacker's perspective. It notes that exploiting APIs has become easier as infrastructure security has improved, but APIs themselves are often not properly secured. The main API vulnerabilities discussed are rate limiting issues, misconfigurations, injections, authentication and authorization bypassing, and flaws in business logic flows. Critical vulnerabilities that can give attackers control include authentication/authorization issues and business logic flows. The document emphasizes that penetration testing alone is not sufficient and continuous assessment of API security is needed to identify and address vulnerabilities.
Security Design Considerations In Robotic Process Automation.docxSridevi Kakolu
Robotic process automation (RPA) can automate repetitive tasks to save time and money but also poses security risks if not implemented properly. RPA bots handle sensitive data as they move between systems, so if not secured, data could be exposed and cost organizations millions. Key security challenges include compromised privileged access, system outages from bot activity spikes, data breaches if bots are improperly trained, and lack of visibility on bot executions without proper logging and monitoring. When designing RPA security, best practices include ensuring accountability for bot actions, automating credential management, implementing a strong governance framework with defined roles and access controls, and regularly validating and auditing bots and logs.

3. Business Logic
Vulnerabilities
Add a footer 3
• Logic flaws are often invisible to people who aren't explicitly looking for them as
they typically won't be exposed by normal use of the application.
• Flaws in the logic can allow attackers to circumvent these rules. For example, they
might be able to complete a transaction without going through the intended
purchase workflow.
• Business logic vulnerabilities are flaws in the design and implementation of an
application that allow an attacker to elicit unintended behavior. This potentially
enables attackers to manipulate legitimate functionality to achieve a malicious
goal.

5. FR
How do business logic
vulnerabilities arise?
• Business logic vulnerabilities often arise because the design and
development teams make flawed assumptions about how users will interact
with the application. These bad assumptions can lead to inadequate
validation of user input.
• For example, if the developers assume that users will pass data exclusively
via a web browser, the application may rely entirely on weak client-side
controls to validate input. These are easily bypassed by an attacker using an
intercepting proxy.
• this means that when an attacker deviates from the expected user
behavior, the application fails to take appropriate steps to prevent this
and, subsequently, fails to handle the situation safely.

What is the impact of business logic
vulnerabilities?
The impact of business logic vulnerabilities can, at times, be fairly trivial. It is a broad category and the
impact is highly variable. However, any unintended behavior can potentially lead to high-severity attacks
if an attacker is able to manipulate the application in the right way.
The impact of any logic flaw depends on what functionality it is related to. If the flaw is in the authentication
mechanism, for example, this could have a serious impact on your overall security.
Flawed logic in financial transactions can obviously lead to massive losses for the business through stolen
funds, fraud, and so on.

How to prevent business logic-
vulnerabilities
Make sure developers and testers understand the domain that the application serves
Avoid making implicit assumptions about user behavior or the behavior of other parts of the application
