To find business logic vulnerabilities during code review, map critical workflows and validate state transitions to identify workflow bypasses, negative amount manipulation, and coupon abuse. This structured approach enables rapid triage and remediation of contextual security flaws.

Checkout and discount workflow bypasses occur when server-side checks are improperly enforced, allowing negative amount manipulation and coupon abuse. Identifying these business logic flaws requires mapping critical payment workflows and validating state transitions to prevent exploitation.

Generic SAST findings alone cannot detect business logic security flaws because these vulnerabilities are highly contextual. You can augment SAST insights with a structured manual analysis approach that maps critical workflows and enforces server-side checks to prevent abuse.

The best way to audit referral programs for self-referral exploitation is to perform a structured manual analysis of the referral workflow. Map critical workflows, validate state transitions, and enforce server-side checks to identify and remediate contextual business logic abuse.

To validate state machines and prevent improper state transitions, map critical workflows and enforce strict server-side checks across time-based conditions. This structured review approach identifies and remediates business logic vulnerabilities across various applications and industries.
