Detecting Security Vulnerabilities in Web Applications: A Proposed System

Web applications have become a central part of our modern era, playing a significant role in facilitating various online activities such as social networking, e-commerce, and financial transactions.As reliance on different web applications has increased, the risks of cyberattacks and breaches of user data have also grown substantially.Therefore, web application security is of utmost importance to protect user information, maintain trust in electronic services, and prevent financial losses for organizations and entities.In this paper, we propose a novel system that integrates automated detection with detailed reporting mechanisms to analyze critical security vulnerabilities targeting web applications, such as SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.Unlike existing solutions, our system provides actionable insights that help organizations not only detect but also mitigate vulnerabilities, significantly enhancing the overall security of web applications.

Abstract

Web applications have become a central part of our modern era, playing a significant role in facilitating various online activities such as social networking, e-commerce, and financial transactions.As reliance on different web applications has increased, the risks of cyberattacks and breaches of user data have also grown substantially.Therefore, web application security is of utmost importance to protect user information, maintain trust in electronic services, and prevent financial losses for organizations and entities.In this paper, we propose a novel system that integrates automated detection with detailed reporting mechanisms to analyze critical security vulnerabilities targeting web applications, such as SQL injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.Unlike existing solutions, our system provides actionable insights that help organizations not only detect but also mitigate vulnerabilities, significantly enhancing the overall security of web applications.
