Automated scanners are powerful—but they often miss business logic vulnerabilities.
🧠 What Are Business Logic Flaws?
These are vulnerabilities that exploit how an application is designed—not coded.
💣 Examples
- Bypassing payment steps
- Applying multiple discounts
- Accessing unauthorized workflows
❌ Why Scanners Fail
- No understanding of business processes
- Cannot simulate real user behavior
🔍 How to Detect Them
- Manual penetration testing
- Scenario-based testing
- Red teaming
🛡️ Prevention
- Secure design principles
- Threat modeling
- QA + security collaboration
✅ Conclusion
Human intelligence is critical. Automation alone is not enough.
