WhiteHat Security’s Website Security Statistics Report provides a one-of-a-kind perspective on the state of website security and the issues that organizations must address in order to conduct business online safely.
Website security is an ever-moving target. New website launches are common, new code is released constantly, new Web technologies are created and adopted every day; as a result, new attack techniques are frequently disclosed that can put every online business at risk. In order to stay protected, enterprises must receive timely information about how they can most efficiently defend their websites, gain visibility into the performance of their security programs, and learn how they compare with their industry peers. Obtaining these insights is crucial in order to stay ahead and truly improve enterprise website security.
To help, WhiteHat Security has been publishing its Website Security Statistics Report since 2006. This report is the only one that focuses exclusively on unknown vulnerabilities in custom Web applications, code that is unique to an organization, and found in real-world websites. The underlying data is hundreds of terabytes in size, comprises vulnerability assessment results from tens of thousands of websites across hundreds of the most well-known organizations, and collectively represents the largest and most accurate picture of website security available. Inside this report is information about the most prevalent vulnerabilities, how many get fixed, how long the fixes can take on average, and how every application security program may measurably improve. The report is organized by industry, and is accompanied by WhiteHat Security’s expert analysis and recommendations.
Through its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering, WhiteHat Sentinel, WhiteHat Security is uniquely positioned to deliver the depth of knowledge that organizations require to protect their brands, attain compliance, and avert costly breaches.
This year WhiteHat SecurityTM celebrates its fteenth anniversary, and the eleventh year that we have produced the Web Applications Security Statistics Report. The stats shared in this report are based on the aggregation of all the scanning and remediation data obtained from applications that used the WhiteHat SentinelTM service for application security testing in 2015. As an early pioneer in the Application Security Market, WhiteHat has a large and unique collection of data to work with.
In this report, we put this area of application security understanding to the test by measuring how various web programming languages and development frameworks actually perform in the field. To which classes of attack are they most prone, how often and for how long; and, how do they fare against popular alternatives? Is it really true that the most popular modern languages and frameworks yield similar results in production websites?
By analyzing the vulnerability assessment results of more than 30,000 websites under management with WhiteHat Sentinel, we begin to answer these questions. These answers may enable the application security community to ask better and deeper questions, which will eventually lead to more secure websites. Organizations deploying these technologies can have a closer look at particularly risk-prone areas. Software vendors may focus on areas that are found to be lacking. Developers can increase their familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of their technology stack. All of this is vitally important because security must be baked into development frameworks and must be virtually transparent. Only then will application security progress be made.
WhiteHat Security, the Web security company, today released the twelfth installment of the WhiteHat Security Website Security Statistics Report. The report reviewed serious vulnerabilities* in websites during the 2011 calendar year, examining the severity and duration of the most critical vulnerabilities from 7,000 websites across major vertical markets. Among the findings in the report, WhiteHat research suggests that the average number of serious vulnerabilities found per website per year in 2011 was 79, a substantial reduction from 230 in 2010 and down from 1,111 in 2007. Despite the significant improvement in the state of website security, organizational challenges in creating security programs that balance breadth of coverage and depth of testing leave large-scale attack surfaces or small, but very high-risk vulnerabilities open to attackers.
The report examined data from more than 7,000 websites across over 500 organizations that are continually assessed for vulnerabilities by WhiteHat Security’s family of Sentinel Services. This process provides a real-world look at website security across a range of vertical markets, including findings from the energy and non-profit verticals for the first time this year. The metrics provided serve as a foundation for improving enterprise application security online.

No More Snake Oil: Why InfoSec Needs Security GuaranteesJeremiah Grossman
Ever notice how everything in InfoSec is sold “as is”? No guarantees, no warrantees, no return policies. For some reason in InfoSec, providing customers with a form of financial coverage for their investment is seen as gimmicky, but the tides and times are changing. This talk discusses use cases on why guarantees are a must have and how guarantees benefit customers as well as InfoSec as a whole.

Whitepaper | Cyber resilience in the age of digital transformationNexon Asia Pacific
We are living in an always-on world using different communications devices, systems and networks. As privacy and protecting one’s identity is becoming increasingly important, the task of protecting these devices, systems and networks from cyber attack is no longer an option, it is a necessity.
In a survey of U.S. technology and healthcare executives nationwide, Silicon Valley Bank found that companies believe cyber attacks are a serious threat to both their data and their business continuity.
Highlights
- 98% are maintaining or increasing resources devoted to cyber security
- 50% are increasing their cyber security resources, preparing for when, not if, cyber attacks occur
- Just 35% are completely or very confident in the security of their company information, and only 16% feel the same about their business partners

Executive Summary of the 2016 Scalar Security Study, The Cyber Security Readiness of Canadian Organizations, published February 2016. The full report can be downloaded at: scalar.ca/security-study-2016/
We found that while cyber security was named as the topmost future tech adoption for organizations in 2019, cyber security is now the second tech priority for 2021 but with a higher budget than previously allocated. We also discovered that cloud security currently holds more importance with CISOs, CTOs and CIOs than data security and privacy.
With malware attacks growing more sophisticated, swift, and dangerous by the day — and billions of dollars spent to combat them — surprisingly few organizations have a grip on the problem. Only 20 percent of security professionals surveyed by Information Security Media Group (ISMG) rated their incident response program “very effective.” Nearly two-thirds struggle to detect APTs, limiting their ability to defend today’s most pernicious threats. In addition, more than 60 percent struggle with the speed of detection, and more than 40 percent struggle with the accuracy of detection. Those shortcomings give attackers more time to steal data and embed their malware deeper into targeted systems.

Best of Both Worlds: Correlating Static and Dynamic Analysis ResultsJeremiah Grossman
One of the only guarantees in life is that the first time you analyze a piece of software for security vulnerabilities, you're going to find them. Whether you’re using static or dynamic analysis, prioritizing defects for remediation can strain any organization. This session will demonstrate methods for integrating analysis techniques and show how a combined approach gives better results.
Website attacks continue to prevail despite the best efforts of enterprises to fight them. Websites are an ongoing business concern and security must be assured all the time, not just at a point in time. And yet, most websites were exposed to at least one serious vulnerability every day of 2010, leaving valuable corporate and customer date at risk. Why?
In this report, Jeremiah will explore a new way to measure website security, Windows of Exposure, that tracks an organization’s current and historical website security posture. Window of Exposure is a useful combination of vulnerability prevalence, how long vulnerabilities take to get fixed, and the percentage of them that are remediated. By carefully tracking these metrics, an organization can determine where resources would be best invested.
Using data from WhiteHat’s 11th Website Security Statistics Report, based on assessments of over 3,000 websites, Grossman will reveal the most secure (and insecure) vertical markets and the Windows of Exposure of each. Find out how your industry ranks, and the top ten vulnerabilities plaguing your peers. Learn how to determine which metrics are critical to increasing their remediation rates, thereby limiting their Window of Exposure. The good news is that companies that take this approach are increasing remediation rates by 5 percent per year.

Log Analytics for Distributed MicroservicesKai Wähner
Log Analytics and Operational Intelligence for Distributed Microservices.
IT systems and applications generate more and more distributed machine data due to millions of mobile devices, Internet of Things, social network users, and other new emerging technologies. However, organizations experience challenges when monitoring and managing their IT systems and technology infrastructure. They struggle with distributed Microservices and Cloud architectures, custom application monitoring and debugging, network and server monitoring / troubleshooting, security analysis, compliance standards, and others.
This session discusses how to solve the challenges of monitoring and analyzing Terabytes and more of different distributed machine data to leverage the “digital business”. The main part of the session compares different open source frameworks and SaaS cloud solutions for Log Management and operational intelligence, such as Graylog , the “ELK stack”, Papertrail, Splunk or TIBCO LogLogic Unity). A live demo will demonstrate how to monitor and analyze distributed Microservices and sensor data from the “Internet of Things”.
The session also explains the distinction of the discussed solutions to other big data components such as Apache Hadoop, Data Warehouse or Machine Learning, and how they can complement each other in a big data architecture.
The session concludes with an outlook to the new, advanced concept of IT Operations Analytics (ITOA). Prsesn

Penetration Testing Services play an important role in enhancing the security posture of any business and, hence, are in high demand. It is a proactive and authorized effort to evaluate the security of an IT infrastructure.
Check out this PPT to know more what are the top most popular and effective open-source tools to assess a web application for vulnerabilities and security flaws.
Scalar Security Roadshow: Toronto Presentation - April 15, 2015Scalar Decisions
On April 15, 2015, Scalar hosted our Security Roadshow in Toronto where we'll be focused on defence in three key areas - endpoint, application, and network. Led by our team of experts, these quick-fire, interactive sessions will arm you with the knowledge you need to improve your cyber security posture in some of the most common areas of vulnerability.
Defend the Endpoint with Bromium
Bromium is a new security protection tool for the host that relies on task-based virtualization. In this demo we'll look at how Bromium runs and protects the endpoint. We'll invite 0days from the audience and bring our own to show how the system really works. Much like how each virtual server is contained in a hypervisor, with Bromium each individual task on a host is contained in its own task-based virtual container. If you’ve ever looked at the Windows Task Manager, or the output of a Unix ‘ps’ process list, imagine if each group of processes, that makes up the task, was contained in its own hypervisor. That can be 40-50 tasks or more, each isolated in its own little hypervisor with no real access to the host.
Why is task virtualization helpful? By keeping each task in its own hypervisor, Bromium gives you a bottoms-up view of each individual task’s behaviour – without impacting system performance. If each process is contained in its own hypervisor, it’s easy to see when a process begins spawning other activities or creating any unusual traffic. Basically, it can very easily identify anything shifty. This is the most granular level of inspection you can get at a host level – Bromium is there at the very beginning when the virus begins to execute.
Defend the Application with WhiteHat
In this session we will look at a newer approach to application security and penetration testing, which combines persistent and automated testing processes to continuously monitor applications for vulnerabilities, as well as deep inspection of the business logic by trained specialists. This approach exceeds newer PCI 3 requirements and provides ongoing assurance that web application vulnerabilities are quickly detected and tracked to remediation.
We'll walk through the WhiteHat Security client management portal and discuss the WhiteHat methodology that can now be used, by you, to leverage the 150+ application specialists at WhiteHat to build a continuous application assessment process for your company's active web applications and software development teams.
Defend the Network with LogRhythm
As the security landscape changes, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tools that detect and investigate security breaches and threats have become increasingly complex to implement, integrate, and support. Inefficient solutions leave organizations slow to defend against and respond to complex attacks.
LogRhythm’s Security Intelligence Platform has removed the complexity from SIEM, while leveraging real-time threat intelligence with behavioural an
The Dynamic Nature of Virtualization SecurityRapid7
The cornerstones of a proactive security strategy are vulnerability management and risk assessment. However, traditional “scan-and-patch” vulnerability scanning approaches are inadequate for dynamic, virtualized environments. Traditional scanners cannot track changes in real time, so they cannot accurately measure constantly changing risks. Anyone charged with securing IT assets needs to understand the dynamic security risks inherent to virtualized environments, and more importantly, what to do to mitigate those risks. This whitepaper explores the challenges of securing a virtualized environment and gives actionable solutions to address them.
Similar to WhiteHat Security 8th Website Security Statistics Report (20)
There is a serious misalignment of interests between Application Security vulnerability assessment vendors and their customers. Vendors are incentivized to report everything they possible can, even issues that rarely matter. On the other hand, customers just want the vulnerability reports that are likely to get them hacked. Every finding beyond that is a waste of time, money, and energy, which is precisely what’s happening every day.
How to Determine Your Attack Surface in the Healthcare SectorJeremiah Grossman
Do you know what an asset inventory is, why it's important, and how it can protect you from cybersecurity vulnerabilities?
In this webinar, you can expect to learn:
- How to prepare yourself and your staff against cybersecurity threats
- What an asset inventory is and why it's the next big thing in information security
- How to identify all your company's Internet-connected assets and which need to be defended
- Why keeping an up-to-date asset inventory is important
- How to obtain your own attack surface map
Exploring the Psychological Mechanisms used in Ransomware Splash ScreensJeremiah Grossman
The present study examined a selection of 76 ransomware splash screens collected from a variety of sources. These splash screens were analysed according to surface information, including aspects of visual appearance, the use of language, cultural icons, payment and payment types. The results from the current study showed that, whilst there was a wide variation in the construction of ransomware splash screens, there was a good degree of commonality, particularly in terms of the structure and use of key aspects of social engineering used to elicit payment from the victims. There was the emergence of a sub-set of ransomware that, in the context of this report, was termed ‘Cuckoo’ ransomware. This type of attack often purported to be from an official source requesting payment for alleged transgressions.
What the Kidnapping & Ransom Economy Teaches Us About RansomwareJeremiah Grossman
Ransomware is center stage, as campaigns are practically guaranteed financial gain. Cyber-criminals profit hundreds of millions of dollars by selling our data back to us. If you look closely, the ransomware economic dynamics closely follow the real-world kidnapping and ransom industry. We’ll explore the eerie similarities, where ransomware is headed, and strategies we can bring to the fight.

If you look closely, the ransomware economic dynamics closely follow the real-world kidnapping and ransom industry. We’ll explore the eerie similarities, where ransomware is headed, and strategies we can bring to the fight.
In the past two decades of tech booms, busts, and bubbles, two things have not changed - hackers are still nding ways to breach security measures in place, and the endpoint remains the primary target. And now, with cloud and mobile computing, endpoint devices have become the new enterprise security perimeter, so there is even more pressure to lock them down.
Companies are deploying piles of software on the endpoint to secure it - antivirus, anti- malware, desktop rewalls, intrusion detection, vulnerability management, web ltering, anti-spam, and the list goes on. Yet with all of the solutions in place, high pro le companies are still being breached. The recent attacks on large retail and hospitality organizations are prime examples, where hackers successfully used credit-card-stealing-malware targeting payment servers to collect customer credit card information.
Ransomware is Here: Fundamentals Everyone Needs to KnowJeremiah Grossman
If you’re an IT professional, you probably know at least the basics of ransomware. Instead of using malware or an exploit to exfiltrate PII from an enterprise, bad actors instead find valuable data and encrypt it. Unless you happen to have an NSA-caliber data center at your disposal to break the encryption, you must pay your attacker in cold, hard bitcoins—or else wave goodbye to your PII. Those assumptions aren’t wrong, but they also don’t tell the whole picture.
During this event we’ll discuss topics such as:
Why Ransomware is Exploding
The growth of ransomware, as opposed to garden-variety malware, is enormous. Hackers have found that they can directly monetize the data they encrypt, which eliminates the time-consuming process of selling stolen data on the Darknet. In addition, the use of ransomware requires little in the way of technical skill—because attackers don’t need to get root on a victim’s machine.
Who the Real Targets Are
Two years ago, the most newsworthy victims of ransomware were various police departments. This year, everyone is buzzing about hospitals. Is this a deliberate pattern? Probably not. Enterprises are so ill-prepared for ransomware that attackers have a green field to wreak havoc. Until the industry shapes up, bad actors will target ransomware indiscriminately.
Where Ransomware Stumbles
Although ransomware is nearly impossible to dislodge when employed correctly, you may be surprised to find that not all bad actors have the skill to do it. Even if ransomware targets your network, you may learn that your attackers have used extremely weak encryption—or that they’ve encrypted files that are entirely non-critical.
As far as ransomware is concerned, forewarned is forearmed. Once you know how attackers deliver ransomware, who they’re likely to attack, and the weaknesses in the ransomware deployment model, you’ll be able to understand how to protect your enterprise.
In this report, we put this area of application security understanding to the test by measuring how various web programming languages and development frameworks actually perform in the field. To which classes of attack are they most prone, how often and for how long; and, how do they fare against popular alternatives? Is it really true that the most popular modern languages and frameworks yield similar results in production websites?
By analyzing the vulnerability assessment results of more than 30,000 websites under management with WhiteHat Sentinel, we begin to answer these questions. These answers may enable the application security community to ask better and deeper questions, which will eventually lead to more secure websites. Organizations deploying these technologies can have a closer look at particularly risk-prone areas. Software vendors may focus on areas that are found to be lacking. Developers can increase their familiarity with the strengths and weaknesses of their technology stack. All of this is vitally important because security must be baked into development frameworks and must be virtually transparent. Only then will application security progress be made.

Online advertising networks can be a web hacker’s best friend. For mere pennies per thousand impressions (that means browsers) there are service providers who allow you to broadly distribute arbitrary javascript -- even malicious javascript! You are SUPPOSED to use this “feature” to show ads, to track users, and get clicks, but that doesn’t mean you have to abide. Absolutely nothing prevents spending $10, $100, or more to create a massive javascript-driven browser botnet instantly. The real-world power is spooky cool. We know, because we tested it… in-the-wild.
With a few lines of HTML5 and javascript code we’ll demonstrate just how you can easily commandeer browsers to perform DDoS attacks, participate in email spam campaigns, crack hashes and even help brute-force passwords. Put simply, instruct browsers to make HTTP requests they didn’t intend, even something as well-known as Cross-Site Request Forgery. With CSRF, no zero-days or malware is required. Oh, and there is no patch. The Web is supposed to work this way. Also nice, when the user leaves the page, our code vanishes. No traces. No tracks.
Before leveraging advertising networks, the reason this attack scenario didn’t worry many people is because it has always been difficult to scale up, which is to say, simultaneously control enough browsers (aka botnets) to reach critical mass. Previously, web hackers tried poisoning search engine results, phishing users via email, link spamming Facebook, Twitter and instant messages, Cross-Site Scripting attacks, publishing rigged open proxies, and malicious browser plugins. While all useful methods in certain scenarios, they lack simplicity, invisibility, and most importantly -- scale. That’s what we want! At a moment’s notice, we will show how it is possible to run javascript on an impressively large number of browsers all at once and no one will be the wiser. Today this is possible, and practical.

Recorded Webinar: https://www.whitehatsec.com/webinar/whitehat_webinar_march2713.html
Every year the security community produces a stunning amount of new Web hacking techniques that are published in various white papers, blog posts, magazine articles, mailing list emails, conference presentations, etc. Within the thousands of pages are the latest ways to attack websites, Web browsers, Web proxies, and their mobile platform equivilents. Beyond individual vulnerabilities with CVE numbers or system compromises, here we are solely focused on new and creative methods of Web-based attack. Now it its seventh year, The Top Ten Web Hacking Techniques list encourages information sharing, provides a centralized knowledge-base, and recognizes researchers who contribute excellent work. Past Top Tens and the number of new attack techniques discovered in each year:
Web Breaches in 2011-“This is Becoming Hourly News and Totally Ridiculous"Jeremiah Grossman
In 2011, attitude towards hacks shifted from "It happens," to "It is happening.” A poorly coded website and web application is all that’s needed to wreak havoc – expensive firewall, pervasive anti-virus and multi-factor authentication be damned. But what is possible? What types of attacks and attackers should we be mindful of? This presentation will show the real risks in a post-2011 Internet.
video demos: http://whitehatsec.com/home/assets/videos/Top10WebHacks_Webinar031711.zip
Many notable and new Web hacking techniques were revealed in 2010. During this presentation, Jeremiah Grossman will describe the technical details of the top hacks from 2010, as well as some of the prevalent security issues emerging in 2011. Attendees will be treated to a step-by-step guided tour of the newest threats targeting today's corporate websites and enterprise users.
The top attacks in 2010 include:
• 'Padding Oracle' Crypto Attack
• Evercookie
• Hacking Auto-Complete
• Attacking HTTPS with Cache Injection
• Bypassing CSRF protections with ClickJacking and HTTP Parameter Pollution
• Universal XSS in IE8
• HTTP POST DoS
• JavaSnoop
• CSS History Hack In Firefox Without JavaScript for Intranet Portscanning
• Java Applet DNS Rebinding
Mr. Grossman will then briefly identify real-world examples of each of these vulnerabilities in action, outlining how the issue occurs, and what preventative measures can be taken. With that knowledge, he will strategize what defensive solutions will have the most impact.
Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerpri...Jeremiah Grossman
Identifying Web Servers: A First-look Into the Future of Web Server Fingerprinting
Jeremiah Grossman, Founder & Chairman of WhiteHat Security, Inc.
Many diligent security professionals take active steps to limit the amount of system specific information a publicly available system may yield to a remote user. These preventative measures may take the form of modifying service banners, firewalls, web site information, etc.
Software utilities such as NMap have given the security community an excellent resource to discover what type of Operating System and version is listening on a particular IP. This process is achieved by mapping subtle, yet, distinguishable nuances unique to each OS. But, this is normally where the fun ends, as NMap does not enable we user's to determine what version of services are listening. This is up to us to guess or to find out through other various exploits.
This is where we start our talk, fingerprinting Web Servers. These incredibly diverse and useful widespread services notoriously found listening on port 80 and 443 just waiting to be explored. Many web servers by default will readily give up the type and version of the web server via the "Server" HTTP response header. However, many administrators aware of this fact have become increasingly clever in recent months by removing or altering any and all traces of this telltale information.
These countermeasures lead us to the obvious question; could it STILL possible to determine a web servers platform and version even after all known methods of information leakage prevention have been exhausted (either by hack or configuration)?
The simple answer is "yes"; it is VERY possible to still identify the web server. But, the even more interesting question is; just how much specific information can we obtain remotely?
Are we able to determine?
* Supported HTTP Request Methods.
* Current Service Pack.
* Patch Levels.
* Configuarations.
* If an Apache Server suffers from a "chunked" vulnerability.
Is really possible to determine this specific information using a few simple HTTP requests? Again, the simple answer is yes, the possibility exists.
Proof of concept tools and command line examples will be demonstrated throughout the talk to illustrate these new ideas and techniques. Various countermeasures will also be explored to protect your IIS or Apache web server from various fingerprinting techniques.
Prerequisites:
General understanding of Web Server technology and HTTP.
Web Application Security and Release of "WhiteHat Arsenal"Jeremiah Grossman
Discussion will include the theory surrounding some of the more dangerous web application attacks known, how to test for them quickly and determine possible countermeasures. Insecure and unprotected web applications are the fastest, easiest, and arguably the most utilized route to compromise networks and exploit users. It is for these very reasons that WhiteHat Security Inc., is pleased to introduce its new release, "WhiteHat Arsenal", the next generation of professional web security audit software.
WH Arsenal possesses a powerful suite of GUI-Browser based web security tools. These endowments make WH Arsenal capable of completing painstaking web security pen-test work considerably faster and more effectively than any of the currently available tools. Imagine employing WH Arsenal to quickly customize and execute just about any web security attack possible and having those penetration attempts logged in XML format for later reporting or analysis.
Many experienced web security professionals tend to agree that even the best current web security scanners, which scan only for known vulnerabilities, achieve only very limited success or simply do not work at all. Furthermore, these types of tools often result in an enormous overflow of false positives. WhiteHat understands these frustrating shortcomings and is poised to revolutionize the way in which web applications are penetration tested.
Phishing with Super Bait
Jeremiah Grossman, Founder and CTO, WhiteHat Security
The use of phishing/cross-site scripting (XSS) hybrid attacks for financial gain is spreading. ItÕs imperative that security professionals familiarize themselves with these new threats to protect their websites and confidential corporate information.
This isn't just another presentation about phishing scams or cross-site scripting. WeÕre all very familiar with each of those issues. Instead, weÕll discuss the potential impact when the two are combined to form new attack techniques. Phishers are beginning to exploit these techniques, creating new phishing attacks that are virtually impervious to conventional security measures. Secure sockets layer (SSL), blacklists, token-based authentication, browser same-origin policy, and monitoring / take-down services offer little protection. Even eyeballing the authenticity of a URL is unlikely to help.
By leveraging cross-site scripting, the next level of phishing scams will be launched not from look-alike web pages, but instead from legitimate websites! This presentation will demonstrate how these types of attacks are being achieved. We'll also demonstrate the cutting edge exploits that can effectively turn your browser into spyware with several lines of JavaScript. And, we'll give you the steps you need to take to protect your websites from these attacks.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Data Overview
• Data collected from January 1, 2006 to October 1, 2009
• 1,364 (32% h) total websites
• 22,776 (4,888 h) verified (custom web application) vulnerabilities
• Vast majority of websites assessed for vulnerabilities weekly
• Vulnerabilities classified according to WASC Threat Classification, the most comprehensive listing of Web application
vulnerabilities (see Figure 2 on the following page)
WhiteHat Website Security Statistics Report | 8th Edition | Fall 2009 2
3. • Vulnerability severity naming convention aligns with PCI-DSS
• Average # of links spidered per website: 766*
• Average # of inputs (attack surface) per website: 246
• Average ratio of vulnerability count / number of inputs: 2.14%
• Websites with responding with at least one X-FRAME-OPTIONS1 (anti-clickjacking) header: 1
• Websites with responding with at least one httpOnly2 (anti-XSS cookie stealing) header: 150
* WhiteHat Sentinel seeks to identify all of a websites externally available attack surface, which may or may not
require spidering all of its available links.
Figure 2. WASC Threat Classification
Key Findings
• 83% of websites have had at least one serious* vulnerability
• 64% of websites currently have at least one serious* vulnerability
• 61% vulnerability resolution-rate with 8,902 unresolved issues remaining
• Average # of serious* vulnerabilities per website during the WhiteHat Sentinel assessment lifetime: 16.7
• Average # of serious* severity unresolved vulnerabilities per website: 6.5
• The vulnerability characteristics of websites currently without any serious* issues were nearly identical to those that
did, with the exception that they had about half as many to begin with.
• Vulnerability time-to-fix metrics are beginning to fluctuate, both lengthening or shortening depending on class, yet still
require weeks to months to resolve.
• Vulnerability resolution percentages are nudging higher across the range, particularly within the Cross-Site Scripting
and SQL Injection classes.
• Social Networking and Education vertical websites most likely to have serious* severity issues (86% and 83%
respectively)
• Most previously established metrics, such as the WhiteHat Security Top Ten, have remained largely static indicating a
representative data sampling.
* Serious vulnerabilities are those of HIGH, CRITICAL, or URGENT severity as defined by PCI-DSS
naming conventions. Exploitation could lead to significant and direct business impact.
WhiteHat Website Security Statistics Report | 8th Edition | Fall 2009 3
4. When interpreting the results there are several factors that should be considered that influence the results:
• Websites range from highly complex and interactive with large attack surfaces to static brochureware.
• Vulnerabilities are counted by unique Web application and class of attack. If there are five parameters in a single Web
application (/foo/webapp.cgi), three of which are vulnerable to SQL Injection, it is counted as one vulnerability (not
three).
• “Best practice” findings are not included in the report. For example, if a website mixes SSL content with non-SSL on
the same Web page, while this may be considered a business policy violation, it must be taken on a case-by-case
basis. Only issues that can be directly and remotely exploitable are included.
• Vulnerability assessment processes are incremental and ongoing, the frequency of which is customer-driven and as
such should not automatically be considered “complete.” The vast majority of WhiteHat Sentinel customers have their
sites assessed weekly.
• New attack techniques are constantly being researched to uncover previously unknown vulnerabilities. This makes
it best to view the data as a best-case scenario. Likewise, assessments may be conducted in different forms of
authenticated states (i.e. user, admin, etc.).
• Websites may be covered by different WhiteHat Sentinel service levels (Premium (PE), Standard (SE), Baseline
(BE)) offering varying degrees of testing comprehensiveness, but all include verification. PE covers all technical
vulnerabilities and business logic flaws identified by the WASC 24 (and some beyond). SE focuses primarily on the
technical vulnerabilities. BE bundles critical technical security checks into a production-safe, fully-automated service.
Vulnerability Prevalence by Severity
In order for organizations to take appropriate action, each website vulnerability must be independently evaluated for
business criticality. For example, not all Cross-Site Scripting or SQL Injection vulnerabilities are equal, making it
necessary to consider its true “severity” for an individual organization. Using the Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard3 (PCI-DSS) severity system (Urgent, Critical, High, Medium, Low) as a baseline, WhiteHat Security rates
vulnerability severity by the potential business impact if the issue were to be exploited and does not rely solely on default
scanner settings.
Figure 3. Percentage likelihood of websites having a least one vulnerability (sorted by severity)
WhiteHat Website Security Statistics Report | 8th Edition | Fall 2009 4
5. The Top Ten
The most prevalent issues are calculated by the percentage likelihood of a particular vulnerability class occurring within
websites (Figure 4). This approach minimizes data skewing in website edge cases that are either highly secure or
extremely risk-prone.
Figure 4. Top 10 Vulnerability Classes (sorted by percentage likelihood)
To supplement vulnerability likelihood statistics, the following graph (Figure 5) illustrates prevalence by class in the
overall vulnerability population. Notice how greatly it differs from the Top Ten graph. The reason is that one website may
possess hundreds of unique issues of a specific class, such as Cross-Site Scripting, Information Leakage, or Content
Spoofing, while another website may not contain any.
It is our opinion that SQL Injection and Cross-Site Request Forgery are under-represented in the Top Ten. To protect
against SQL Injection attacks, industry best-practices suggest verbose error messages should be disabled to increase
the difficulty of its exploitation. This act also has the side effect of increasing the difficulty for scanning technology
to identify open issues. Despite adherence to this practice, the vulnerability persists and can be exploited by worms
leveraging Blind SQL Injection without the need to identify an issue first. “SQL Injection, eye of the storm” has additional
detailed information. Cross-Site Request Forgery is under-represented because scanning technology industrywide is
still extremely limited in its detection capability. Most serious issues are still found by hand as were the majority of CSRF
vulnerabilities identified in this report.

6. Development Technology and Vulnerabilities
Table 1 provides insight into the types of technologies encountered during WhiteHat Sentinel vulnerability assessments
and the associated vulnerability percentage breakdown. The statistics are not meant to establish which technology is
more secure. For example, the under-representation of PHP likely means that this technology is not being utilized by
those in the sample set relative to others. The large set of “unknown” are those without a file extension.
Table 1.
Time-to-Fix
When website vulnerabilities are identified, there is a certain amount of time required for the issue to be resolved.
Resolution could take the form of a software update, configuration change, Web application firewall rule, etc. Ideally
the time to fix should be as short as possible because an open vulnerability represents an opportunity for hackers to
exploit the website, but no remedy is instantaneous. To perform this analysis, we focused on vulnerabilities identified and
resolved within the last twelve months between October 1, 2008 and October 1, 2009. The data was then sorted by the
most common URGENT, CRITICAL, and HIGH severity issues.
There are aspects worth noting that may bias the data:
• Should a vulnerability be resolved, it could take up to seven days before it is retested and confirmed closed by
WhiteHat Sentinel, depending upon the customer’s scan schedule. A customer can proactively use the auto-retest
function to get real-time confirmation of a fix.
• Not all vulnerabilities identified within this period have been resolved, which means the time to fix measurements are
likely to grow (See Table 2).
Once vulnerabilities are identified it does not necessarily mean they are fixed quickly, or ever. It is interesting to analyze
the types and severity of the vulnerabilities that do get fixed (or not) and in what volumes. Some organizations target
the easier issues first to demonstrate their progress by vulnerability reduction. Others prioritize the high severity issues
to reduce overall risk. Still, resources and security interest are not infinite so some issues will remain unresolved for
extended periods of time. The reasons for this are diverse, but may include:
• No one at the organization understands or is responsible for maintaining the code.
• Feature enhancements are prioritized ahead of security fixes.
• Affected code is owned by an unresponsive third-party vendor.
• Website will be decommissioned or replaced “soon.”
• Risk of exploitation is accepted.
• Solution conflicts with business use case.
WhiteHat Website Security Statistics Report | 8th Edition | Fall 2009 6
7. • Compliance does not require it
• No one at the organization knows about, understands, or respects the issue.
• Lack of budget to fix the issues
Figure 6. Average number of days for vulnerabilities to be resolved
* Up/down arrows indicate the increase or decrease since the last report.
The time-to-fix metrics are still somewhat volatile. As we stated before, we expect the numbers to lengthen and become
more representative as the percentage of resolved issues increases. What we can say with confidence is that IT
Security and development organizations must coordinate when it comes to dealing with website vulnerabilities to close
the time-to-fix gap.

8. Comparing Industry Verticals
Figure 7 shows the percentage of websites with at least one Urgent, Critical, or High severity issue sorted by industry
vertical. The majority of websites have these types of issues, which would likely preclude them from being classified
as PCI-DSS compliant. Clearly no vertical is performing exceptionally well, but some are holding steady and achieving
better results than others. The question is, why?
It is difficult to prove causation, but we have some correlation ideas. Battlefield testing, which occurs on those sites
where significant functionality is ahead of the login screen (i.e. Retail). Meaning, the attackers are able to test their
targets deeper and more often, which forces security improvement. Other swings could also be attributed to the addition
of new websites into the sample set from that particular vertical, which have never undergone professional vulnerability
assessment testing.

severity vulnerability sorted by industry vertical

9. It should be noted that there may be a number of factors present which potentially artificially inflate the number of zero-
vulnerability websites in the sample set. In future reports, we will try to isolate and measure these factors accordingly.
These factors would include, but are not limited to:
• Brochureware websites, or those with very little functionality and attack surface.
• Websites where the bulk of the functionality cannot be exercised without proper authentication credentials which
have not be supplied.
• WhiteHat Sentinel testing coverage differences between Premium Edition, Standard Edition, and Baseline Edition.
• WhiteHat Sentinel is being blocked at an IP address level by mitigating devices such as Web Application Firewall and
Intrusion Prevention Systems.
• Customer WhiteHat Sentinel injection tests are being specifically blacklisted by application input-filters not properly
resolving the issue.

11. Conclusion
In the security industry, positive indicators are exceptionally rare. Hyped up doom and gloom headlines are the rule rather
than the exception. In this case though, we have some good news to share. The good news is, as our statistics are
showing, real progress of application security risk reduction can be made by organizations which truly desire to do so.
Taking application security seriously is more than just spending more -- it is being strategic. With consistent outcome-
based measurements and the implementation of incremental improvements to one’s security controls, a dramatically
increased security posture can be realized.
One thing to keep in mind is that we should not expect all security controls to yield the same outcomes, across all
vulnerability classes in the same degrees, with the same investment, for every organization. We also should not expect
each organization to be able to justify security investment with identical rationale as each has a different tolerance for
risk. The best we can do is continue to reveal the lessons learned about how particular organizations do better than
others. We’ll continue to work with them to understand more deeply about what it is they are doing, identifying what is
working (or not), and sharing the wisdom publicly.
Glossary: The Top Ten Defined
1. Cross-Site Scripting (66% of websites)
Cross-site Scripting4 (XSS) is easily the most prevalent website vulnerability. XSS has proven to be extremely
hazardous to businesses and consumers in the form of either Web Worms5, “Phishing with Superbait6” scams,
Javascript malware-laced defacements, and malicious Web Widgets. The evolution of JavaScript malware, finding its
way into more and more attackers toolboxes, has made finding and fixing this vulnerability more vital than ever.
2. Information Leakage (49% of websites)
Information Leakage7 occurs when a website knowingly or unknowingly reveals sensitive information such as developer
comments, user information, internal IP addresses, source code, software versions numbers, error messages/codes,
etc., which may all aid in a targeted attack. While most of the time rated MEDIUM or LOW severity, several Information
Leakage issues could be used in combination to compromise a website.
3. Content Spoofing (31% of websites)
Content Spoofing8 is often used in phishing scams (or intelligence gathering) as a method of forcing a legitimate
website to deliver or redirect users to bogus content. For example, users often receive a suspicious link that instructs
them to confirm their user name and password information. Typically, phishing websites are hosted on look-alike domain
names mimicking the content of the real site. In the case of Content spoofing phishing scams fake content is injected
into the real website, making it very difficult, if not impossible, for users to detect the difference and therefore protect
themselves.
4. Insufficient Authorization (19% of websites)
Insufficient Authorization9 flaws are also typically found within the business logic of an application. Successful
exploitation leads to an attacker being able to escalate his or her privileges, exercise unauthorized access, and potentially
defraud the systems. For example, while logged-in as a normal user, an attacker could gain access to another user’s
data while still being logged-in under their current account.
5. SQL Injection (18% of websites)
SQL Injection10 has been at the center of some of the largest credit card, identity theft incidents, and mass scale
website compromises. Today’s backend website databases store highly sensitive information, making them a natural,
attractive target for malicious hackers. Names, addresses, phone numbers, passwords, birth dates, intellectual property,
trade secrets, encryption keys and often much more could be vulnerable to theft. With a few well-placed quotes, semi-
colons and commands entered into a standard Web browser entire databases could fall into the wrong hands.
WhiteHat Website Security Statistics Report | 8th Edition | Fall 2009 11
12. 6. Predictable Resource Location11 (PRL) (14% of websites)
Over time, many pages on a website become unlinked, orphaned, and forgotten--especially on websites experiencing a
high rate of content and/or code updates. These Web pages sometimes contain payment logs, software backups, post
dated press releases, debug messages, source code – nothing or everything. Normally the only mechanism protecting
the sensitive information within is the predictability of the URL. Automated scanners have become adept at uncovering
these files by generating thousands of guesses.
7. Cross-Site Request Forgery (12% of websites)
Cross-Site Request Forgery12 (aka Session Riding, Web Trojan, Confused Deputy, etc.) allow an attacker to force an
unsuspecting user’s browser to make a Web request they didn’t intend. For example, the attacker could force a user
to compromise their own banking, eCommerce or other website accounts invisibly without their knowledge. Since the
forged request is coming the legitimate user, even when they are logged-in, the website will accept it as being the intent
of that user.
8. Session Fixation (12% of websites)
Session Fixation is an attack technique that forces a user’s session ID to an explicit value. Depending on the functionality
of the target web site, a number of techniques can be utilized to “fix” the session ID value. Once the victim user
authenticates in with the fixed session value, the attacker can them leverage it because the knowledge of the value.
9. HTTP Response Splitting (10% of websites)
HTTP Response Splitting13 is an attack technique in which a single request is sent to the website in such a way that the
response may appear to look like two. Depending on the network architecture of the website or the behavior of a users
Web browser, the “second” HTTP response that’s under the control of the attacker can be used to poison cache servers,
deface Web pages, perform session fixation, etc.
10. Abuse of Functionality14 (9% of websites)
As stated by the WASC Threat Classification “Abuse of Functionality is an attack technique that uses a website’s own
features and functionality to consume, defraud, or circumvent access controls mechanisms. Some functionality of a
website, possibly even security features, may be abused to cause unexpected behavior. When a piece of functionality is
open to abuse, an attacker could potentially annoy other users or perhaps defraud the system entirely.”
