Kotlin Backend Components and Security Testing
We validate this area during scoped assessments, documenting impact and remediation guidance.
Why it matters
Client Request → Controller → Service → engagement → Database → Response - Client Request: Test malformed inputs, fuzzing, injection attempts. - Controller: Validate inputs, enforce authentication/authorization, check response encoding, test error handling. - Service: Verify business rules, role-based access, edge cases, data validation. - engagement: Test for SQL injection, parameterized queries, secure data handling, audit logging. - Database: Check encryption of sensitive fields, least privilege access, stored payloads, backups. - Response: Confirm output encoding, generic error messages, no sensitive data exposure, secure headers.
