Implementation of CSRF and XSS Using ZAP for Vulnerability Testing on Web Applications

Abstract

AbstractThe security of Web applications is one noteworthy component that is often overlooked within the creation of Web apps. Web application security is required for securing websites and online services against distinctive security threats. The vulnerabilities of the Web applications are for the most part the outcome of a need for sanitization of input/output which is frequently utilized either to misuse source code or to pick up unauthorized access. An attacker can misuse vulnerabilities in an application’s code. The security of Web applications may be a central component of any Web-based commerce. The security of Web applications deals particularly with the security encompassing websites, Web applications, and Web administrations such as APIs. This paper gives a testing approach for vulnerability evaluation of Web applications to address the extent of security issues. We illustrate the vulnerability assessment tests on Web applications. Showing how with an aggregation of tools, the vulnerability testing broadcast for Web applications can be enhanced.KeywordsOwaspbwaZAPOWASPPenetration testing securityVulnerability assessmentWeb serverXSSCSRF
