Vulnerability Research & Analysis
This project focuses on researching, identifying, and validating security vulnerabilities across web applications, APIs, and supporting infrastructure. The work emphasizes understanding root causes, exploitability, and real-world impact rather than relying solely on automated scanning results.
Research activities included manual testing, payload crafting, request manipulation, and review of application logic to uncover issues such as broken access control, injection flaws, and authentication weaknesses. Findings were mapped to OWASP Top 10 and CVSS scoring standards to clearly communicate risk.
Research Scope
-
Manual vulnerability discovery and validation
