Exploiting XPath Injection Weaknesses

A three-part video series demystifies Burp Suite macros: capturing dynamic values like CSRF tokens, chaining sessions, and automating complex multi-request scenarios, with practice labs included.

Shows how a CAPTCHA that can be solved once and replayed fails to stop brute force - a password was cracked on the 86th try - and lists checks like one-time use and session binding.

By switching a JSON request's Content-Type to application/xml, testers can sometimes reach an unanticipated XML parser on the server and trigger XXE, enabling file reads, UNC access, or SSRF.

Since its formal recognition by the security community in 2007 on the OWASP Top Ten list, Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) has stepped out of the shadows and joined the ranks of vulnerability all-stars like Cross Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL injection.

SaaS providers face rising API and multi-tenant threats; regular pentesting aligned to OWASP and PTES across the SDLC reduces breach risk and supports SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA.

APIs expose backend logic and sensitive data directly; targeted API security testing uncovers broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and access control flaws that traditional pentests miss.
