Security Misconfigurations

We can use Burp's Active Scan to scan for common security misconfigurations, such as SQL injection flaws (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Burp's active scanning reveals an SQLi flaw.

Scans can always produce false-positive results, thus, we need to always validating the findings (Figure 2).
