FUTURE_CS_01 – Web Application Vulnerability Assessment

---

Project Objective

This project focuses on identifying, analyzing, and classifying vulnerabilities in a web application using structured vulnerability assessment techniques.

The objective is to simulate a basic VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing) process and document findings professionally.

Assessment Scope

Target Type:

• Public demo / test web application

Testing Areas:

• Open Ports
• HTTP Security Headers
• SSL Configuration
• Server Information Disclosure
• Input Validation Issues
• Potential OWASP Top 10 Risks

---

Tools Used

• Nmap (Port Scanning)
• Nikto (Web Server Scan)
• Browser Developer Tools
• Online Header Analyzer
• Manual Testing Techniques

Key Findings

1. Missing Security Headers
2. Server Version Disclosure
3. No Rate Limiting
4. Weak Input Validation
5. Potential Information Exposure

Risk Classification

Vulnerability	Severity
Missing Security Headers	Medium
Information Disclosure	Medium
No Rate Limiting	High
Weak Validation	High

---

🛡 Remediation Recommendations

• Implement Content-Security-Policy
• Hide server version details
• Add rate limiting mechanisms
• Validate user inputs properly
• Enable proper error handling
