Web application penetration testing is a manual, in-depth security assessment in which certified ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks against your web app to find vulnerabilities such as injection, broken access control, and authentication flaws. CyberXplore pairs the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide with senior-led manual testing to surface the business-critical issues automated scanners miss - then delivers clear, prioritized remediation guidance and free retesting.

Why it matters
Web apps are the number-one breach vector - a single broken access control or injection flaw can expose your entire customer database.
Automated scanners miss business-logic flaws, chained exploits, and authorization issues that only skilled manual testing reveals.
Customers, partners, and frameworks like SOC 2 and ISO 27001 increasingly require independent penetration-testing evidence.
Fixing a vulnerability found in testing costs a fraction of responding to a breach, regulatory fines, and lost customer trust.

Our methodology
01
Scoping & Recon
We define targets, user roles, and rules of engagement, then map your application's attack surface, technologies, and entry points.
02
Automated + Manual Testing
We combine tuned tooling with deep manual testing across the OWASP Top 10 and beyond - authentication, access control, injection, and business logic.
03
Exploitation
We safely exploit and chain findings to demonstrate real, concrete business impact rather than theoretical risk.
04
Reporting
You receive a clear report with severity ratings, reproduction steps, evidence, and developer-ready remediation guidance.
05
Remediation Support & Retest
We support your team through fixes and re-test every issue to confirm it is resolved - included free.
What we test
Authentication & session management
Authorization & access control (IDOR, privilege escalation)
Injection (SQL, NoSQL, command, SSTI)
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) & CSRF
Business logic & workflow abuse
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) & XXE
Security misconfiguration & missing headers
Sensitive data exposure & weak cryptography
Insecure file upload & deserialization
Application API endpoints

Frequently asked questions
Most web app pentests take 5-15 business days depending on the size and complexity of the application. After scoping, we give you a firm timeline and a fixed price up front.
