Validation and Optimization of Vulnerability Detection on Web Application

The emergence of new technology has resulted in mass usage of web applications. Millions of businesses use web as an affordable means of communication with over million internet users today. The global nature of Internet exposes web applications to be attack from different locations and various levels of scale and complexities. Hence, security of such web applications becomes an important aspect. This paper discusses about a user-friendly system which will help in detection of top 10 vulnerabilities as proposed by Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) in 2019 in web applications and also validate its performance according to a standard dataset. The tool will have sections for different vulnerabilities provided in the user interface. This provides the user liberty to test its web application against any specific attack from the list rather than performing for all attacks which is not required at the time; which we also save user’s time. A detailed report for the concerned vulnerability will be generated, the risks associated will be identified and a descriptive solution for the identified risks will be provided.
