Business Logic Vulnerability Testing: Finding the Flaws Scanners Cannot See สำหรับองค์กรไทย

Business logic flaws are unique to each application and invisible to automated tools. Why they're the most impactful vulnerabilities. Guidance for TH market.

Business logic vulnerabilities are flaws in the application's intended workflow — not technical errors like injection or XSS, but cases where the application's own logic can be manipulated to achieve unauthorised outcomes. Examples include: bypassing payment in a multi-step checkout, applying discounts multiple times, transferring funds from another user's account by manipulating parameters, escalating privileges through a specific sequence of valid actions, and exploiting race conditions in time-sensitive operations. These vulnerabilities have no signature in any scanner database because they are unique to each application's design. Finding them requires a human tester who understands the intended business process well enough to discover how it can be subverted. In our experience across 500+ engagements, business logic flaws account for the majority of critical findings.
