Business logic abuse

Business logic abuse is exploiting how an application is designed to work (coupon rules, ticket queues, sign-up bonuses, inventory holds) rather than a technical vulnerability.

Examples include bots buying up concert tickets, scripts stacking discount codes, or fake accounts claiming sign-up credits. Every request looks valid on its own; the abuse is in the pattern.

These attacks hit revenue directly and vary by business, so generic WAF rules rarely catch them. Defenses need application context: which flows matter and what normal looks like.

Where Huskeys fits

Huskeys builds application profiles with business context, so rules can protect high-value flows like checkout and ticketing.
