Common Weaknesses#

• Insecure direct object references
• Security misconfiguration
• Sensitive data in logs
• Missing rate limiting
• Weak password policies
• Unvalidated redirects

Audit Methodology#

1. Scope definition and threat modeling
2. Automated vulnerability scanning
3. Manual security testing
4. Code review for security flaws
5. Configuration review
6. Compliance verification
7. Risk assessment and prioritization
8. Remediation recommendations

Tools & Techniques#
