Sample Finding Format
Each vulnerability is documented with comprehensive detail to enable effective remediation.
SQL Injection in User Search Functionality
Affected System
https://app.example.com/api/users/searchDescription
The user search API endpoint is vulnerable to SQL injection through the "query" parameter. An unauthenticated attacker can extract sensitive data from the database, modify data, or potentially gain remote code execution.
Evidence
Screenshots, request/response logs, and proof-of-concept code
Business Impact
An attacker could extract all user credentials, personal information, and financial data from the database. This could lead to complete data breach, regulatory violations (GDPR, CCPA), and significant reputational damage.
Remediation Steps
- Use parameterized queries or prepared statements
- Implement input validation and sanitization
- Apply principle of least privilege to database accounts
- Deploy a Web Application Firewall (WAF)
- Implement proper error handling to prevent information disclosure
