Security testing for Java and Spring applications.
Java powers large enterprise and financial systems, often with Spring. Deserialization, XXE, injection, and access-control flaws are the classic high-impact risks, alongside dependency vulnerabilities.
Common Java pitfalls
Insecure deserialization (with well-known gadget chains), XXE from XML processing, SQL injection, and SSRF are recurring. Enterprise codebases also accumulate access-control inconsistencies.
Spring focus
Spring Security misconfiguration and method-level authorization gaps are common; test both function- and object-level authorization.
