Modern web applications and APIs are the primary attack vector for enterprise organizations. Riptide Cybersecurity’s Web Application Penetration Testing delivers deep-dive manual security assessments backed by Burp Suite Certified Practitioner (BSCP) and OWASP testing standards.
Rather than relying on noisy, automated vulnerability scanners that miss critical context, every endpoint is rigorously analyzed to uncover complex business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and chained authorization vulnerabilities.
Technical Scope & Target Architectures
Assessments are executed against:
- Single Page Applications (SPAs) & Modern Web Frontends: React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and enterprise SaaS platforms.
- RESTful, SOAP & GraphQL APIs: Endpoint discovery, parameter fuzzing, mass assignment, and Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA / IDOR).
- Authentication & Identity Workflows: OAuth 2.0 and SAML implementation weaknesses, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) bypasses, token entropy analysis, and JWT signature verification flaws.
- Access Control & Multi-Tenancy: Horizontal and vertical privilege escalation between organizational roles and tenants.
- Input Validation & Injection Vectors: SQL Injection (SQLi), Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Command Injection, and XML External Entity (XXE).
Assessment Methodology
- Reconnaissance & Endpoint Mapping: Deep surface discovery using targeted fuzzing, parameter analysis, and hidden route discovery.
- Session & Identity Verification Testing: Evaluating session state handling, credential stuffing resilience, and deprecated authentication mechanisms.
- Business Logic & Race Condition Exploitation: Manipulating multi-step transactions, state transitions, and authorization checks that automated scanners cannot detect.
- Vulnerability Chaining & Proof of Concept: Safely demonstrating real-world impact with reproducible HTTP requests and contextual proof-of-concept steps.
Deliverables & Engineering Guidance
- Executive & Developer Reports: Mapped directly to the OWASP Top 10 with CVSS v3.1 scoring for clear stakeholder communication.
- Actionable Remediation Guidance: Framework-specific code patches, architectural hardening recommendations, and identity modernization advice.
- Complimentary 90-Day Retest: Retesting and verification of Critical and High severity vulnerabilities within 90 days, with updated audit documentation.
