Methodology
Vexta employs a four-phase automated assessment pipeline. Each phase is executed autonomously and verified before proceeding. The methodology aligns with OWASP Testing Guide v4.2 and PTES standards.
Reconnaissance
Passive and active discovery of subdomains, open ports, exposed services, technology fingerprinting, and API endpoint enumeration across the target perimeter.
Active Scanning
Systematic probing against 25+ OWASP vulnerability classes using over 10,000 type-aware payload templates with smart parameter fuzzing.
Proof-of-Exploitation
Safe, non-destructive exploitation verification via time-based inference, out-of-band callbacks (DNS/HTTP), and differential analysis to achieve 0% false positives.
AI Verification
LLM reasoning layer classifies each finding, generates contextual impact analysis, produces bespoke remediation guidance, and formats evidence for the final report.

Technical Findings
Blind SQL Injection (Time-Based)
The query parameter is directly interpolated into a SQL statement without parameterization. An attacker can use time-based blind techniques to extract the entire database schema and contents.
Full database read access. Attacker can exfiltrate user credentials, PII, financial records, and escalate to admin privileges via password hashes.
GET /v1/users/search?query=test' AND (SELECT SLEEP(5))-- HTTP/1.1 Host: api.example.com
► Response delayed by 5.012s - SQL INJECTION CONFIRMED
Use parameterized queries (prepared statements) for all database interactions. Apply input validation and deploy a WAF rule for SQL injection patterns.
Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
User input in the search parameter is reflected into the HTML response without sanitization or encoding, enabling script injection in the victim's browser context.
Session hijacking via cookie theft. Attacker can impersonate any user, inject phishing forms, or redirect to malware distribution sites.
HTML-encode all user input before rendering. Implement Content-Security-Policy headers. Use framework-level auto-escaping (React JSX, Go html/template).
Technical Findings continued
Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)
Sequential invoice IDs are directly exposed in the API. Any authenticated user can access or download invoices belonging to other organizations by incrementing the numeric identifier.
Unauthorized access to financial data of other tenants. Breach of customer confidentiality and potential regulatory violation (GDPR, DPDP Act).
Replace sequential IDs with UUIDs. Implement server-side authorization checks verifying the requesting user owns the requested resource. Add rate-limiting on enumeration attempts.
Missing Security Headers
The application does not set critical security headers: Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, Permissions-Policy, and Referrer-Policy. This increases the attack surface for XSS, clickjacking, and data leakage.
Enables clickjacking attacks, facilitates XSS exploitation, and allows browser feature abuse. Lowers the overall security baseline.
Configure the web server or CDN to return: Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options: DENY, Strict-Transport-Security, Referrer-Policy: strict-origin-when-cross-origin, and Permissions-Policy.

Scope & Disclaimer
Scope of Assessment
Severity Classification (CVSS 3.1)
| Rating | CVSS Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Critical | 9.0 – 10.0 | Exploitation is trivial and leads to full system compromise. Immediate action required. |
| High | 7.0 – 8.9 | Exploitation is likely and causes significant impact. Remediate within 7 days. |
| Medium | 4.0 – 6.9 | Exploitation requires specific conditions. Remediate within 30 days. |
| Low | 0.1 – 3.9 | Limited impact or unlikely exploitation. Remediate in next release cycle. |
| Info | 0.0 | Best-practice recommendation. No direct exploitability. |
Disclaimer & Limitations
This report is a point-in-time assessment. New vulnerabilities may emerge after the testing window due to code deployments, configuration changes, or newly disclosed CVEs.
All testing was performed non-destructively. No data was modified, deleted, or exfiltrated during the assessment. Proof-of-exploitation techniques were designed to confirm exploitability without impacting availability or integrity.
Findings are based on automated scanning and AI verification. While Vexta achieves near-zero false positive rates, manual expert review is recommended for critical findings before production remediation.
