Red Team Testing for NetSuite Security
Red Team testing in NetSuite is an advanced security assessment where ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities in authentication, user roles, data access, API security, and integrations. This approach helps organizations strengthen NetSuite’s security before an actual breach occurs.
🛠️ Key Areas for Red Team Testing in NetSuite
1️⃣ User Authentication & Access Control
✅ Brute-force attack testing on login pages.
✅ MFA/2FA bypass attempts (e.g., session hijacking, token reuse).
✅ Session management weaknesses (e.g., session fixation, cookie manipulation).
2️⃣ Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) Testing
🔍 Identify privilege escalation vulnerabilities:
- Test role misconfigurations (e.g., Finance user gaining Admin rights).
- Check improperly assigned custom roles (e.g., unnecessary script execution permissions).
3️⃣ API & Web Services Security
🔐 SuiteTalk, RESTlet, and SOAP API security checks:
- API authentication weaknesses (e.g., weak API keys, outdated tokens).
- Excessive data exposure (API responses leaking unnecessary data).
- Rate limiting & DoS protection (sending excessive requests to crash services).
4️⃣ Data Security & Injection Attacks
📌 SQL Injection & SuiteScript Exploits
- Test user input sanitization in Saved Searches, Reports, SuiteAnalytics.
- Look for XSS vulnerabilities in SuiteScript-based forms and dashboards.
5️⃣ NetSuite Integrations & 3rd-Party Apps
🔄 Test connected systems (e.g., Salesforce, Shopify, Workday):
- Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks on integrations.
- Weak OAuth & token security in NetSuite API connections.
6️⃣ Data Exfiltration & Insider Threat Simulation
🚨 Simulate a rogue employee attack:
- Attempt unauthorized bulk data exports (e.g., customer lists, financials).
- Test NetSuite logging & monitoring for suspicious activities.
