Testing for business logic flaws

As mentioned earlier, business logic-related flaws cannot be tested comprehensively using automated tools. The following are some guidelines to test business logic:

  • Have a brainstorming session with the application architect, the business users of the application, and the developer to understand what the application is all about
  • Understand all the workflows in the application
  • Jot down critical areas of the application where things might go wrong and have a larger impact
  • Create sample/raw data and try to explore the application both as a normal user as well as from an attacker's perspective
  • Develop attack scenarios and logical tests for testing specific business logic
  • Create a comprehensive threat model
