Web Application Penetration Testing
Modern web applications are the front door to your business and the most common target for attackers. StandardPentest delivers OWASP-aligned web application penetration testing that finds the vulnerabilities scanners miss — authentication flaws, broken access control, injection points, and business logic abuse — with an audit-ready report in 24 hours.
What We Test
- •Authentication and session management (login flows, MFA bypass, session fixation, JWT handling)
- •Authorization and access control (IDOR, privilege escalation, tenant isolation in multi-tenant apps)
- •Injection vulnerabilities (SQL, NoSQL, command, LDAP, template injection)
- •Cross-site scripting (reflected, stored, DOM-based) and CSRF
- •Server-side request forgery (SSRF) and external resource abuse
- •Insecure deserialization and unsafe object handling
- •File upload and arbitrary file operations
- •Business logic flaws specific to your application's workflows
- •Client-side risks including DOM clobbering and prototype pollution
Our Methodology
Every engagement follows a standardized four-phase workflow: reconnaissance and asset mapping, automated and manual vulnerability discovery using the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and OWASP Top 10 (2021), exploitation to confirm impact and reduce false positives, and reporting with prioritized remediation guidance. Our automation handles the breadth so consistency is guaranteed; our methodology ensures depth on the findings that matter.
What You Get
- •An executive summary suitable for leadership and customers
- •Technical findings ranked by CVSS 3.1 with reproduction steps and screenshots
- •Prioritized, code-level remediation guidance
- •An attestation letter signed by our team
- •A free retest of remediated findings within 90 days
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you test in production or in staging?
We strongly prefer staging or pre-production environments that mirror production. If a finding is environment-specific, we'll validate it carefully in production with your written approval and a defined blast radius.
Will the test break our application?
No. We use rate-limited, non-destructive techniques by default. Any potentially disruptive test (e.g., resource exhaustion, account lockouts) requires explicit pre-engagement approval.
How is this different from a vulnerability scan?
Scanners enumerate known CVEs; a penetration test verifies exploitability and finds logic flaws scanners cannot see. Our service includes both, with manual validation on every high-severity finding.
What credentials do you need?
We test as both unauthenticated and authenticated users — typically one account per role you'd like covered (e.g., admin, standard user, read-only). We never use real customer credentials.
