Session handling, credit card transactions, and password recovery are just a few examples of Web-enabled business logic processes that malicious hackers have abused to compromise major websites. These types of vulnerabilities are routinely overlooked during QA because the process is intended to test what a piece of code is supposed to do and not what it can be made to do. The other problem(s) with business logic flaws is scanners can’t identify them, IDS can’t detect them, and Web application firewalls can’t defend them.  Hard hitting trifecta. Plus, the more sophisticated and Web 2.0 feature-rich a website, the more prone it is to have flaws in business logic.

Static Analysis of software refers to examining source code and other software artifacts without executing them.  This presentation looks at how these techniques can be used to identify security defects in applications.  Approaches examined will range from simple keyword search methods used to identify calls to banned functions through more sophisticated data flow analysis used to identify more complicated issues such as injection flaws. In addition, a demonstration will be given of two freely-available static analysis tools: FindBugs for the Java platform and FXCop for the .NET platform.  Finally, some approaches will be presented on how organizations can start using static analysis tools as part of their development and quality assurance processes.

As the number of common vulnerabilities such as SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting are reduced, the bad guys will increase their attacks on business logic flaws.

This presentation will provide real-world demonstrations of how pernicious and dangerous business logic flaws are to the security of a website.  We’ll also show how best to spot them and provide organizations with a simple and rational game plan to prevent them.

San Antonio OWASP Chapter: January 2008 Meeting

Topic: Static Analysis Techniques for Testing Application Security

Presenter: Dan Cornell

Date: January 31st, 11:30am – 1:00pm

Abstract:

Static Analysis of software refers to examining source code and other software artifacts without executing them. This presentation looks at how these techniques can be used to identify security defects in applications. Approaches examined will range from simple keyword search methods used to identify calls to banned functions through more sophisticated data flow analysis used to identify more complicated issues such as injection flaws. In addition, a demonstration will be given of two freely-available static analysis tools: FindBugs for the Java platform and FXCop for the .NET platform. Finally, some approaches will be presented on how organizations can start using static analysis tools as part of their development and quality assurance processes.
