Find exploitable weaknesses inside your web application.
ShabuShabu Security performs authorized web application penetration testing to identify weaknesses in authentication, authorization, user workflows, data handling and business logic before they can become practical attack paths.
A web application is more than a collection of endpoints.
Modern applications combine authentication systems, user roles, dashboards, administrative functions, integrations, payments, data exports and business-specific workflows.
That makes security highly dependent on context. A feature may work exactly as designed while still creating a dangerous attack path when combined with another function or permission failure.
Understand user roles
Review what different users can access and how the application enforces those boundaries.
Review application logic
Identify workflows where legitimate functions can be used in unintended or unsafe combinations.
Test sensitive functions
Focus attention on actions that affect accounts, data, permissions or other high-impact product behavior.
Validate realistic impact
Confirm whether a weakness can become a meaningful attack path under controlled testing conditions.
Key security areas inside a modern web application.
The exact scope depends on the application, but these areas form the core of most web application penetration tests.
Authentication
Login processes, account recovery, multi-factor authentication, session creation and identity verification flows.
Authorization
User roles, administrative privileges, cross-account access and restrictions around protected functions.
Data Handling
Sensitive information, user-controlled data, exports, file processing and data exposure risks.
Business Logic
Workflow rules, limits, sequence assumptions and unexpected combinations of valid user actions.
Input Processing
User-controlled fields, application parsing behavior, uploads and unsafe interpretation of supplied data.
Session Security
Session lifecycle, logout behavior, token handling and controls around authenticated browser sessions.
Administrative Functions
High-impact management interfaces, privileged workflows and controls intended only for trusted roles.
Integrations
Application connections, callbacks, external services and trust boundaries created by connected systems.
Security Configuration
Application-level security settings, exposed features and configuration choices that increase attack surface.
We look for weaknesses that can change what an attacker can do.
The objective is not to maximize the number of findings. The objective is to identify vulnerabilities that weaken meaningful security boundaries.
Broken Access Control
Failures that allow users to reach data or actions outside their intended permissions.
Authentication Weaknesses
Problems around login, recovery, session behavior or account protection.
Business Logic Flaws
Valid product functionality that can be combined or manipulated in unintended ways.
Injection Risks
Unsafe interpretation of user-controlled input within application processing.
Sensitive Data Exposure
Application behavior that reveals information to users who should not receive it.
Session Weaknesses
Security problems in session creation, invalidation or authenticated state handling.
Unsafe File Handling
Risk introduced through uploads, downloads, processing or insufficiently restricted file behavior.
Security Misconfiguration
Exposed application functionality or unsafe security settings that expand the attack surface.
The real risk often appears between several application features.
Individual findings do not always explain how an application can actually be compromised. Our testing follows the relationships between users, permissions, workflows and sensitive actions.
This helps identify multi-step attack scenarios where several smaller weaknesses combine into a more serious security problem.
The questions a manual web application test should answer.
The exact checks depend on the application and approved scope, but the assessment focuses on practical security boundaries.
Account & Permission Security
Application Logic & Data Security
A controlled process from scope to remediation.
The assessment begins with an agreed test scope and progresses through application mapping, manual testing, impact validation and structured reporting.
Scope the application
Define domains, environments, test accounts, user roles, restricted actions and the authorized assessment window.
SCOPE / USERS / RULES
Map application behavior
Review application features, trust boundaries, sensitive functions and user workflows before deeper testing.
MAP / FLOWS / PERMISSIONS
Test and validate
Perform controlled manual security testing and confirm the realistic impact of important findings where appropriate.
TEST / VALIDATE / IMPACT
Report and retest
Receive prioritized technical findings, remediation guidance and optional verification after fixes are implemented.
REPORT / FIX / RETEST
A report designed for security and engineering teams.
Each important finding is presented with enough context to understand the risk, identify the affected application component and plan remediation.
Executive Summary
A concise overview of the assessment and the most important security risks identified.
Technical Findings
Detailed descriptions of vulnerabilities and affected application functionality.
Impact Analysis
Context explaining what a realistic attacker could achieve if the weakness were exploited.
Supporting Evidence
Relevant evidence and reproduction information needed to understand validated findings.
Remediation Guidance
Practical recommendations focused on strengthening the underlying security control.
Retesting
Optional verification that previously identified issues have been properly remediated.
When a web application penetration test makes the most sense.
Before launch
Test critical web functionality before exposing a new product to customers and public traffic.
After a major release
Review new features, workflows or permissions that materially change application behavior.
After access changes
Reassess the application after major authentication, user-role or permission model changes.
Periodic assessment
Review mature applications as the product, user base and integration surface evolve.
Web application testing with clear rules of engagement.
ShabuShabu Security performs penetration testing only within the authorized engagement scope. Production restrictions, test accounts, permitted systems and sensitive actions are agreed before testing starts.
