Abstract

Purpose - This study evaluates the effectiveness of Wazuh-based security monitoring in detecting cyber threats in public service web systems, particularly XSS, SQL Injection, SSH brute-force attacks, and file integrity violations. Design/methods/approach – An experimental quantitative approach was conducted in a controlled virtualized environment using Proxmox VE. Wazuh was deployed as a centralized Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system with active threat detection and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM). Simulated attacks and file modification events were executed, and system performance was assessed based on detection rate, alert latency, and resource utilization. Findings - Wazuh achieved a 100% detection rate across all tested attacks, including XSS (10/10), SQL Injection (10/10), and SSH brute-force (20/20). The average alert latency was 6.8 seconds for XSS, 132.6 seconds for SQL Injection, and 52 seconds for SSH brute-force attacks. Although CPU and memory usage increased after deployment, the overhead remained within acceptable operational limits in the experimental environment. Research implications/limitations – The system demonstrates effective real-time centralized monitoring capability; however, the evaluation was limited to a controlled virtual environment and predefined attack scenarios, which may not fully represent real-world conditions. Originality/value – This study provides empirical evidence of Wazuh’s performance as a centralized SIEM solution for public service web systems, highlighting its detection effectiveness and operational trade-offs in terms of alert latency and system resource usage.

Abstract

This study implements a Wazuh-based Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) prototype to enhance security monitoring for a web application. The architecture uses two VPS instances: a web server as the log source equipped with a Wazuh Agent, and a monitoring server running the Wazuh Manager and Dashboard for event analysis and visualization. The evaluation combines threat hunting and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) using several test scenarios: OWASP ZAP scanning, XSS, SQL injection (login-form testing and automated sqlmap attacks), and SSH brute force using hydra. The results show that Wazuh successfully detects XSS via rule 31105 (level 6) and sqlmap-based SQL injection via rule 31106 (level 6) because the attack patterns are clearly recorded in the web access logs. SSH brute force is strongly detected by rule 5763 (level 10), indicating repeated failed login attempts. In addition, FIM records file changes such as added and modified files (e.g., rules 554/550); however, it may generate noise when monitoring dynamic directories. The SQL injection attempt through the login form does not produce a specific SQL injection alert, suggesting limitations in log visibility/format and the need for decoder/ruleset tuning. Overall, Wazuh is effective for log-based security monitoring, while detection quality depends on log completeness, rule configuration, and FIM scope.

Abstract

Websites used for tourism services process personal and transaction information, making security evaluation important to reduce the risk of misuse and data exposure. This study implements security improvements on the Alfarouq Tour Travel website based on vulnerability findings identified using OWASP Zed Attack Proxy (ZAP). The research uses an applied experimental approach consisting of an initial security scan, classification and analysis of findings, planning and implementation of remediation, re-scanning, and comparison of conditions before and after remediation. The initial scan using OWASP ZAP 2.16.1 on 25 April 2025 found no High-risk alerts, but identified three Medium-risk alert types with 57 instances: Absence of Anti-CSRF Tokens (1), Content Security Policy Header Not Set (30), and Missing Anti-clickjacking Header (26). Remediation was implemented through CSRF token protection and request-flow adjustment, Content Security Policy configuration, and X-Frame-Options together with the frame-ancestors directive. The re-scan on 30 December 2025 showed that all three Medium-risk alert types were no longer detected, reducing Medium instances from 57 to 0. Six Low-risk and six Informational alert types remained. The findings indicate that remediation based on ZAP results met the study’s success indicator for the three targeted Medium-risk findings within the tested scope, while further assessment is still required for residual findings and system areas not reached by the scan.
