This is an academic type work.

The mock "website" to be patched, has been included on zip file, along with PDF descriptions and a [url removed, login to view] file.

Basically this site needs some basic security to be implemented.

For example, on the user "Registration" page, a user is asked to input the usual data (name, address, phone, email, password, username). Yet the page does not check for length or content of string, this will obviously lead to problems. On the "Checkout" page, a user can input -1 as number of items to buy, this is obviously a vulnerability.

Note that this page does NOT NEED TO BE COMPLETELY VALIDATED, only three examples of different types of vulnerabilities (overflow, invalid type, tautology etc) need to be found and patched. I have found many, but don't have time to complete the work. Professor has stated that Part 1 should take from 4 hrs to 1 day, and Part 2 two days max.

NOTE: If you see my Profile, I have worked with primarily 2 coders. One coder for about 8 jobs, another for 3. I'm looking to work for an entire semester (4 months) with just one coder if possible. All work will be of similar nature, of slightly increasing difficulty. Please take that into account when placing a bid. My type of work is academic, not "real life" work, so an academic background is preferred.
