Web Application Penetration Testing

Identify Hidden Risks Before Attackers Do Your business runs on web applications — and so do cyberattacks.

From customer portals and payment gateways to internal tools and APIs, every exposed web surface is a potential entry point for attackers. At Specialty Experts, we provide deep, methodical Web Application Penetration Testing (WAPT) designed to uncover security flaws before they’re exploited — giving you clarity, confidence, and control.

Why Penetration Testing Is Essential for Application Security

A single unpatched vulnerability could lead to data leaks, compliance violations, or full-scale breaches. And with attackers growing more sophisticated, automated scanners and outdated testing aren’t enough.
That’s why organizations trust Specialty Experts to perform manual, standards-driven security assessments — uncovering both obvious and subtle weaknesses in third-party and custom-built applications.

Identify Hidden Risks Before Attackers Do What Our Web Application Penetration Testing Includes

Our approach aligns with OWASP Top 10, MITRE CVE, and SANS security frameworks. We go beyond checklists — conducting real-world simulated attacks tailored to your application logic, architecture, and technology stack.

Common Vulnerabilities We Detect and Address

Sensitive Data Exposure

Detecting unencrypted, misconfigured, or exposed personal and financial information.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Blocking malicious scripts from injecting into user-facing pages.

SQL Injection and Database Flaws

Identifying unsafe database queries and injection points.

Logic Flaws

Identifying business logic vulnerabilities attackers can abuse (e.g., bypassing payment steps).

Broken Access Controls

Preventing privilege escalation and unauthorized access to key features.

Weak Authentication

Strengthening login mechanisms, session tokens, and credential handling.

Insecure Deserialization

Preventing manipulation of serialized data structures.

Poor Input Validation

Enforcing strict sanitization to block code, command, and injection attacks.

XXE and XML Parser Weaknesses

Detecting external entity exploits in XML-based inputs.

Security Misconfigurations

Tightening misconfigured web servers, frameworks, or application layers.

Usage of Vulnerable Components

Preventing manipulation of serialized data structures.

Session Management Risks

Securing cookies, tokens, and timeout settings to prevent hijacking.
