This whitepaper discusses automated testing of privilege escalation vulnerabilities in web applications. It explains that privilege escalation occurs when an attacker is able to access unauthorized functions by exploiting vulnerabilities. The whitepaper then introduces Watchfire App Scan 7.0, which allows for automated privilege escalation testing of web applications to identify vulnerabilities without manual effort. It concludes that automated testing is needed to effectively test for privilege escalation issues at scale.
