Version 1.2.0 - Web Cache Deception Detection
Web Cache Deception
The WCVS now detects Web Cache Deception. It uses various techniques for this purpose:
- Path Parameter
- Path Traversal
- Appended Newline, Null Byte, Semicolon, Pound, Question Mark or Ampersand
In summary, WCVS's procedure is as follows:
If the cache returns a HIT, it is tested for web cache poisoning. If the cache always returns a MISS, it is tested for web cache deception.
