Case Study

ASX-Listed Retailer โ€” PCI DSS & Web Application Assessment

A major Australian retailer engaged HackLabs ahead of their PCI DSS annual assessment. Testing identified a stored XSS vulnerability in their loyalty platform that could be used to steal session tokens and hijack customer accounts. The finding was critical given the loyalty program's $200M+ points liability. Remediation was completed prior to the PCI assessment.
