story behind
When Finstore approached us, they expressed concerns despite having undergone previous security assessments. They sought a fresh evaluation to ensure no vulnerabilities were overlooked that could compromise their digital bond issuance platform. Understanding the criticality of their request, we committed to conducting a comprehensive security assessment covering their primary web application, external network, and internal security policies.
Challenges & solutions
The external network is susceptible to potential breaches due to outdated software and poor configurations.
Update and patch all software, reconfigure network services following security best practices, and implement robust firewall and intrusion detection/prevention systems.
Existing policies are inadequate to address current security threats and incident responses.
Update information security policies, develop a comprehensive incident response plan, and conduct regular security awareness training for employees.
The web application contains logic vulnerabilities that could be exploited to undermine the integrity and security of transactions.
Implement strict input validation, enhance session management, and conduct regular code reviews and security testing.

We began by conducting a thorough black box penetration test on Finstore's primary web application. This involved reconnaissance to gather information, automated vulnerability scanning, and meticulous manual testing to uncover intricate business logic flaws. Our approach aimed to simulate real-world attack scenarios to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools might miss.
Our team assessed Finstore’s external network infrastructure by performing reconnaissance to map the network perimeter. Using a combination of automated tools and manual exploitation techniques, we identified multiple gaps such as outdated software and misconfigured network services.
We reviewed and audited Finstore’s information security policies and procedures. This involved interviewing key personnel, analyzing documentation, and evaluating the effectiveness of existing security controls. Our findings highlighted several policy gaps and vulnerabilities in internal security practices.
