JuicedShop Security Lab Series: Software and Data Integrity Failures
Solution overview
Type: Red Team
Who Should Play: Security analysts, penetration testers, application security engineers, and technical leaders want to deepen their understanding of web application vulnerabilities through hands-on offensive techniques.
Objective:
This mini game highlights the risks of relying on third-party components without proper validation or safeguards. JuicedShop uses an open-source API to process customer orders, but what happens when the documentation and internal workings of that API are unintentionally exposed?
You'll investigate how poor visibility in software dependencies and unsecured API integrations can be exploited. By analyzing the traffic during order placement, you'll discover a way to manipulate API calls and ultimately access sensitive data, including the administrator's order history.
Why it matters: Software and data integrity failures often stem from blind trust in external systems or insufficient validation of code and data flows. Understanding these weaknesses is critical in an era where modern apps are built on complex, interconnected components.
About the JuicedShop Mini Game Series:
Challenge yourself in a dynamic, hands-on mini game series based on OWASP Juice Shop, a purposefully vulnerable web application replicating real-world security flaws in a safe, sandboxed environment. This interactive experience includes ten unique mini games, each aligned with a specific vulnerability from the OWASP Top Ten - the most critical web application security risks recognized by the industry.
Whether you're exploring web app security for the first time or refining advanced ethical hacking skills, this series offers an engaging, gamified way to practice identifying, exploiting, and understanding common flaws found in modern websites.
