Client

A Fast-Growing Ecommerce Company With 100,000+ Registered Users, Processing Thousands of Daily Transactions Across Multiple Countries.

Objective

The client wanted to ensure their web and mobile API were secure against data breaches, payment fraud, and credential theft.

Testing Approach:

Web application penetration testing (OWASP Top 10 methodology). API testing using Postman and Burp Suite to analyze request handling. Mobile app backend testing for token security and API rate limiting.

Findings & Exploitation:

Vulnerability : SQL Injection in Search Functionality

  • Exploit: The search bar accepted raw SQL queries, allowing attackers to extract customer data.
  • Impact: Potential exposure of customer emails, phone numbers, and payment details.

Vulnerability: Insecure Password Reset Mechanism

  • Exploit: The password reset system relied on predictable reset tokens (base64-encoded timestamps).
  • Impact: Attackers could generate valid reset tokens, allowing unauthorized account access.

Vulnerability: Insecure API Endpoints Exposing Order Details

  • Exploit: The /orders API did not enforce authentication correctly.
  • Impact: Attackers could access order details of other customers, including shipping addresses.

Remediation & Outcome:

SQL Injection Fix: Applied parameterized queries and input validation.
Password Reset Fix: Used cryptographically secure random tokens with expiration.
API Security Fix: Implemented JWT-based authentication and role-based access control (RBAC).

Key Outcome:

The platform secured user data, achieved PCI-DSS compliance, and reduced fraud risks.
