A04 - Insecure Design

Description

Insecure design is a broad category representing different weaknesses expressed as "missing or ineffective control design." The difference between insecure design and insecure implementation is that design flaws are inherent to the application's architecture.

Common Vulnerabilities

  • Missing security controls
  • Insufficient threat modeling
  • Insecure design patterns
  • Business logic flaws
  • Missing rate limiting

Testing Approach

Test business logic flows, analyze application architecture, and look for missing security controls or flawed design patterns.
