    Web Application Penetration Testing

    Find and fix critical web vulnerabilities before attackers do. Budget Security delivers manual web application pentests with clear evidence, prioritized remediation guidance, and reports designed for security and compliance stakeholders.

    Modern web apps combine complex authentication, APIs, business logic, and third party integrations. Automated scanners can miss authorization flaws, workflow abuse, and subtle injection chains. Our testers focus on realistic exploitation paths, from authentication and session handling to input validation, access control, and data exposure.

    Whether you ship a customer portal, SaaS product, or internal admin console, you get a structured assessment aligned with industry expectations for web security testing, including coverage aligned with OWASP style risks, without the overhead of traditional consulting sales cycles. For multi-tenant SaaS products we pay special attention to tenant isolation and authorization boundaries, testing whether one customer can reach another customer's data across roles, plans, and tenants.

    Methodology

    How we test web applications

    We combine structured manual testing with supporting automation to maximize coverage in the time you book. Testing adapts to your scope: black box, grey box, or white box. You scope assets in the platform, see pricing upfront, and track progress as findings are validated.

    01

    Reconnaissance & mapping

    Full crawl, JS bundle analysis, hidden route discovery, tech fingerprinting.

    02

    Authentication & session

    Credential handling, MFA bypass, session fixation, token lifetime and revocation.

    03

    Authorization

    Horizontal and vertical privilege escalation across every role pair, IDOR sweeps on all object IDs.

    04

    Injection & input handling

    SQL, NoSQL, template, command and SSRF vectors, validated by exploitation not signature.

    05

    Business logic

    Race conditions, price and quantity tampering, workflow skipping, negative-value abuse.

    06

    Client-side

    Stored and DOM XSS, CSP review, postMessage handling, dependency exposure.

    Example finding

    This is the format a finding arrives in.

    An example of the format. Every finding carries a rating, reproduction steps and remediation guidance.

    CRITICALCVSS 9.1CWE-639

    IDOR on /v3/invoices/{id}

    Any authenticated tenant can read another tenant’s invoice by incrementing the numeric id. No ownership check is performed server-side; the UI simply hides the link.

    Remediation

    Enforce tenant ownership at the data-access layer and replace sequential ids with unguessable identifiers.

    Web Application Penetration Testing: FAQ

    What is web application penetration testing?
    It is an authorized security test focused on websites and web apps. Testers attempt to find and validate vulnerabilities like broken access control, injection flaws, authentication weaknesses, and business logic issues, then report practical fixes.
    How is this different from a vulnerability scan?
    Scans can identify many surface issues quickly, but they rarely prove exploitability or uncover complex authorization and logic flaws. A pentest validates real attack paths and prioritizes what matters for your environment.
    Do you test authenticated areas of the application?
    Yes. Many critical issues live behind login. Depending on the testing approach you choose (black, grey, or white box), we can evaluate authenticated workflows using accounts and access you provide.
    Will testing disrupt production?
    Testing is designed to be safe and controlled. We recommend coordinating maintenance windows for sensitive systems and providing non production environments when available. Your scope and rules of engagement guide how testing is performed.
    How fast can we get results?
    You receive live visibility as validated findings are added, with reports available from your dashboard as testing completes. Typically much faster than traditional consulting engagements.
    How do I get started?
    Request access, add your web application asset, scope the test in the platform, and book online. You can also use our penetration test cost calculator for a quick pricing estimate.
