For E-commerce Teams

Secure your checkout before peak season

A compromised checkout costs more than lost sales — it triggers PCI DSS investigations, customer notifications, and permanent reputational damage. Penetrify tests your store continuously so you're never caught out by a vulnerability you didn't know existed.

The problem

Why E-commerce security is uniquely hard

💳

Magecart skimming starts with XSS

The majority of Magecart card-skimming attacks begin with a stored XSS vulnerability that injects a script into the checkout page. Penetrify finds XSS — including stored XSS in product reviews, user profiles, and CMS fields — before attackers weaponize it.

🛒

Checkout logic bugs cause direct revenue loss

Price manipulation, coupon abuse, and cart total overrides are business logic vulnerabilities that DAST scanners don't test for. Penetrify's AI understands application flows — it tests whether your pricing logic can be bypassed, not just whether your server has a known CVE.

📦

PCI DSS doesn't care that it was a plugin

If a third-party plugin introduced the vulnerability that led to card data exposure, you still face the PCI DSS investigation. Regular penetration testing — not just quarterly network scans — is required, and responsibility is yours regardless of the code's origin.

Compliance

Frameworks that require penetration testing

PCI DSS 4.0

Requirement 11.4 — Penetration testing at least annually and after significant changes to the cardholder data environment

GDPR

Article 32 — Regular testing of technical measures protecting personal data

CCPA

Section 1798.150 — Reasonable security procedures to protect personal information

SOC 2 Type II

CC6.1 — Logical access controls with penetration testing evidence

Common findings

What Penetrify finds in E-commerce applications

CRITICALStored XSS in product reviews, user profiles, or CMS content — executes in checkout context (Magecart vector)
CRITICALIDOR on order IDs — any authenticated customer can view orders and personal data of other customers
HIGHPrice manipulation — cart total or item prices modifiable via API parameters before payment capture
HIGHSQL injection in product search, filter, or sorting parameters
HIGHCoupon code logic bypass — unlimited use of single-use codes, stacking non-stackable discounts
MEDIUMAccount enumeration on checkout — response difference reveals whether an email address is registered
MEDIUMInsecure password reset flow — predictable tokens or missing expiry on reset links
LOWSensitive customer PII (address, phone) returned in API responses for unauthenticated product queries

Why Penetrify

Built for E-commerce security requirements

Finds XSS before it becomes a skimming attack

Penetrify systematically tests every user-controlled input field — product reviews, profile fields, CMS content, address forms — for stored and reflected XSS. Finding XSS before it reaches your checkout is the difference between a fixed bug and a breach notification.

Tests checkout logic, not just headers

Price manipulation, coupon logic bypasses, and cart total overrides are business logic vulnerabilities invisible to header-checking scanners. Penetrify's AI tests whether your checkout flows enforce pricing rules consistently across all code paths.

PCI DSS evidence before your QSA visits

Penetrify produces structured penetration test reports with severity ratings and remediation guidance. You go into your QSA assessment with documented evidence of ongoing security testing, not scrambling to schedule a last-minute engagement.

Test before Black Friday, not after

Peak season is the worst time to discover a vulnerability. Run a full penetration test in staging six weeks before your traffic spike — and again after every significant release. At $600/month for 20 scans, security testing fits the e-commerce calendar.

FAQ

E-commerce security questions

What is Magecart and how does Penetrify protect against it?

Magecart is a category of attack where malicious JavaScript is injected into e-commerce checkout pages to steal payment card data as customers enter it. Magecart attacks typically begin with a stored XSS vulnerability in the target site. Penetrify finds stored XSS — in product reviews, user profiles, CMS fields, and any other user-controlled content — before attackers can exploit it to inject skimming scripts.

Does Penetrify test WooCommerce, Shopify, or Magento stores?

Penetrify tests web applications at the HTTP level, regardless of the underlying platform. It can test custom WooCommerce themes and plugins, headless Shopify storefronts with custom checkout flows, and Magento 2 instances. Platform-specific vulnerability patterns (plugin vulnerabilities, theme injection points, API endpoints) are included in the scan scope.

Can Penetrify detect price manipulation vulnerabilities?

Yes. Penetrify tests business logic vulnerabilities including price manipulation — whether cart total or item price parameters can be modified via API calls before payment capture. This class of vulnerability is invisible to traditional DAST scanners that only test for known technical patterns and does not appear in CVE databases.

How does Penetrify help with PCI DSS compliance for e-commerce?

PCI DSS Requirement 11.4 mandates penetration testing at least annually and after significant changes. Penetrify provides continuous testing that satisfies the "after significant changes" requirement on every deployment, and the structured scan reports give your QSA documented evidence of ongoing security assessment. Many organizations use Penetrify for continuous coverage plus an annual manual engagement for the formal QSA assessment.

Should I run Penetrify on staging or production?

Both, with different configurations. Run comprehensive tests against staging before each significant release — this is where you catch vulnerabilities before customers are exposed. For production, Penetrify's lightweight authenticated scans can verify that deployed code matches the staging results without disrupting live traffic. Never run aggressive scanning directly against production without first testing in staging.
