Advanced manual mobile application security testing designed to identify vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit your applications, users, and backend systems.
Mobile applications are now a critical part of modern businesses and everyday life. From banking and healthcare to e-commerce and communication, users rely on mobile apps to handle sensitive information and important activities.
However, mobile application security is often overlooked during development. Many users assume that mobile apps are secure by default, especially in industries such as finance and healthcare. In reality, insecure mobile applications can expose user data, backend systems, and business infrastructure to cyberattacks.
Unlike web applications, mobile apps have a larger and more complex attack surface. Security risks can exist in client-side code, device storage, backend APIs, inter-app communication, and platform-specific behaviors on both Android and iOS devices.
BugxSolutions provides detailed manual mobile application penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities that automated tools often fail to detect. Our goal is to help organizations launch secure mobile applications while protecting both business assets and end users.
Mobile application penetration testing is a security assessment designed to evaluate both the mobile application and its backend services for vulnerabilities that attackers could exploit.
Our testing simulates real-world attack techniques used by cybercriminals, including:
Unlike automated scanners, manual testing helps uncover complex vulnerabilities and business logic flaws that require human analysis.
The purpose of mobile application penetration testing is to strengthen application security, reduce organizational risk, and ensure vulnerabilities are identified before attackers can exploit them.
Our mobile application penetration testing includes coverage of major OWASP Mobile Top 10 risks, including:
In addition to the OWASP Mobile Top 10, we also test for business logic vulnerabilities, insecure API integrations, session management weaknesses, and platform-specific security issues across Android and iOS applications.
We begin by defining the scope of testing, identifying application versions, supported platforms, and reviewing available documentation.
This phase helps us understand:
We analyze the mobile application package and available source code to identify:
This helps uncover security weaknesses directly within the application code.
The application is tested while running on a real or emulated device to analyze runtime behavior and active functionality.
This includes:
Dynamic testing helps identify vulnerabilities that only appear during active application usage.
We test authentication systems and access controls for weaknesses such as:
Our goal is to verify that users can only access data and features intended for their permission level.
We assess all backend APIs connected to the mobile application for vulnerabilities including:
This testing ensures the backend infrastructure supporting the mobile app is properly secured.
Our analysts manually test application workflows to identify logic flaws that attackers could abuse.
This includes testing for:
Business logic flaws are often unique to each application and are rarely detected by automated scanners.
After the assessment, BugxSolutions provides a detailed security report containing:
Our team also works closely with your developers to explain findings and support the remediation process.
