Bug Bounty Exploit Checklist

Checklist: Bug bounty exploit checklist
1. Information gathering:
Enumerate subdomains and directories
Identify web technologies used (e.g., JavaScript libraries, CMS, server software)
Look for default installations, test pages, and exposed sensitive files (e.g., backup files, Git directories, logs)
Review public resources (e.g., documentation, GitHub repositories, support forums)
2. Authentication and authorization:
Test for weak credentials, password reuse, and password reset vulnerabilities
Check for authentication bypass and session management issues
Test role-based access control and vertical/horizontal privilege escalation
Verify proper enforcement of CORS policies
3. Input validation and output encoding:
Test for Cross-site Scripting (XSS), both reflected and stored
Test for SQL Injection (SQLi) and other injection vulnerabilities (e.g., command, LDAP, XPath)
Test for XML External Entity (XXE) attacks
Check for Open Redirect vulnerabilities
Test for insecure deserialization vulnerabilities
4. Business logic vulnerabilities:
Test for Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) issues
Check for rate limiting and brute force protection
Examine multi-step processes for logic flaws (e.g., shopping carts, registration)
Test for data leakage through cache and history poisoning
5. Server-side vulnerabilities:
Test for server-side vulnerabilities like remote code execution (RCE), local file inclusion (LFI), and remote file inclusion (RFI)
Test for Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities
Check for server misconfigurations, including weak TLS/SSL cipher suites, insecure HTTP headers, and exposed error messages
Test for path traversal vulnerabilities
6. Client-side vulnerabilities:
Test for Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities
Examine JavaScript code for vulnerabilities (e.g., client-side validation, DOM-based XSS)
Check for Clickjacking and other UI redressing attacks
Test for HTML5 postMessage vulnerabilities
7. Web APIs:
Enumerate API endpoints and methods
Test for authentication, authorization, and rate limiting issues
Check for parameter tampering and injection vulnerabilities
Test for improper handling of data formats (e.g., JSON, XML)
8. Third-party components and integrations:
Check for vulnerabilities in third-party libraries, plugins, or themes
Test for OAuth misconfigurations and other issues related to Single Sign-On (SSO)
Review APIs and other integrations for proper security configurations
9. Mobile application components:
Test for insecure communication between mobile apps and web servers
Check for mobile-specific issues such as insecure storage of sensitive data
Assess mobile app-specific vulnerabilities, like deep linking or WebView issues
10. Misconfigurations and insecure defaults:
Check for exposed administrative interfaces or developer portals
Test for weak or misconfigured security headers
Look for vulnerable versions of web servers, databases, or other components
Examine cookie configurations, such as missing HttpOnly or Secure flags
11. Cryptography-related vulnerabilities:
Test for weak encryption or hashing algorithms
Check for improper usage of encryption libraries
Assess the application for issues like padding oracle attacks
Look for hardcoded keys or secrets in the application's code
12. Data exposure and privacy issues:
Check for sensitive data leakage in HTTP responses, logs, or error messages
Test for unprotected access to user profile data or personally identifiable information (PII)
Verify the proper handling of user consent and privacy-related features
13. Network and infrastructure-level vulnerabilities:
Test for vulnerabilities in supporting infrastructure, like misconfigured DNS or load balancers
Scan the network for open ports or other exposed services
Check for firewall bypass vulnerabilities, such as DNS rebinding attacks
14. Container and orchestration-related vulnerabilities:
Assess the security of container images and configurations
Check for misconfigurations in container orchestration platforms, like Kubernetes or Docker Swarm
14.
Look for exposed secrets, insecure defaults, or other vulnerabilities in containerized environments
15. Code quality and vulnerability management:
Review the application's code for insecure coding practices or patterns
Look for potential vulnerabilities introduced by third-party code or dependencies
Examine the application's use of open-source software and the associated security risks
