Adoption of web applications is increasing for multipurpose services. However, their correct functioning is mission critical for many businesses. At the same time, Web applications tend to be error prone and implementation vulnerabilities are readily and commonly exploited by attackers. The design of countermeasures that detect or prevent such vulnerabilities or protect against their exploitation is an important research challenge for the fields of software engineering and security engineering. In this paper we introduce a single J2EE based web application which can able to handle several vulnerabilities at application level, mainly these are related to injection types, cross site scripting, browser caching and also protecting the session data dependency via changing session identifier at runtime, sequential access and session expiration. By handling all these things together in an application we can protect our web application successfully from the common vulnerabilities.

Abstract


Adoption of web applications is increasing for multipurpose services. However, their correct functioning is mission critical for many businesses. At the same time, Web applications tend to be error prone and implementation vulnerabilities are readily and commonly exploited by attackers. The design of countermeasures that detect or prevent such vulnerabilities or protect against their exploitation is an important research challenge for the fields of software engineering and security engineering. In this paper we introduce a single J2EE based web application which can able to handle several vulnerabilities at application level, mainly these are related to injection types, cross site scripting, browser caching and also protecting the session data dependency via changing session identifier at runtime, sequential access and session expiration. By handling all these things together in an application we can protect our web application successfully from the common vulnerabilities.
