Real-World Impact: Critical Vulnerability Discovery
Our recent engagement with a major financial institution demonstrates the value of comprehensive testing. During the assessment of their new banking platform, our experts identified a sophisticated vulnerability chain that could have led to unauthorized access to thousands of customer accounts.
The vulnerability involved:
- A subtle authentication bypass in their JWT implementation
- Weak session management in their mobile API
- Insufficient rate limiting on critical endpoints
- Business logic flaws in transaction processing
- Inadequate access control in admin functions
Through careful exploitation and documentation, we demonstrated how these issues could be chained together to:
- Bypass multi-factor authentication
- Escalate privileges to administrative access
- Access sensitive customer information
- Modify transaction details
- Extract bulk customer data
