The document discusses various web application attacks like cross-site scripting, SQL injection, cross-site request forgery, sensitive data exposure, and cookie editing. For each attack, it provides information on threat agents, attack vectors, security weaknesses, impacts, prevalence, detectability, example exploits, and steps to prevent the attack. The overall document serves as an educational guide on common web hacking techniques and how to avoid falling victim to them.

Don’t store sensitive data unnecessarily. Discard it as soon as possible. Data you don’t have can’t be stolen. Ensure strong standard algorithms and strong keys are used, and proper key management is in place. Ensure passwords are stored with an algorithm specifically designed for password protection, such as bcrypt, PBKDF2, or scrypt. Disable autocomplete on forms collecting sensitive data and disable caching for pages that contain sensitive data.

This causes the value to be sent in the body of the HTTP request, avoiding its inclusion in the URL, which is more prone to exposure. The unique token can also be included in the URL itself, or a URL parameter. However, such placement runs a greater risk that the URL will be exposed to an attacker, thus compromising the secret token. Requiring the user to re-authenticate, or prove they are a user (e.g., via a CAPTCHA) can also protect against CSRF. Easiest fix, when dealing with forms, is to change it from GET to POST

Such controls should strive to: 1. meet all the authentication and session management requirements defined in OWASP’s Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) areas V2 (Authentication) and V3 (Session Management). 2. have a simple interface for developers. Consider the ESAPI Authenticator and User APIs as good examples to emulate, use, or build upon.

The preferred option is to use a safe API which avoids the use of the interpreter entirely or provides a parameterised interface. Be careful with APIs, such as stored procedures, that are parameterised, but can still introduce injection under the hood. If a parameterised API is not available, you should carefully escape special characters using the specific escape syntax for that interpreter. OWASP’s ESAPI provides many of these escaping routines.

Positive or “whitelist” input validation is also recommended as it helps protect against XSS, but is not a complete defense as many applications require special characters in their input. For rich content, consider auto-sanitization libraries like the Java HTML Sanitizer Project. Consider Content Security Policy (CSP) to defend against XSS across your entire site.
