Development of a calculator for assessing vulnerabilities in Javascript

The aim of this work is to describe the known methods of vulnerability assessment, and to implement them in a web application using the Vue.js framework. The thesis describes two vulnerability assessment systems, namely CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) and OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) Risk Rating Methodology. Their parts, metrics and methods of calculation of the evaluation are described. Subsequently, these systems are compared and their strengths and weaknesses are determined. The work then evaluates some known vulnerabilities using these two assessment methods. The work then describes the design of the frontend and backend of the web application. The frontend uses the Vue.js framework, which allows the creation of dynamic one-page web applications. The components and layout of the application are designed. Furthermore, the appearance of the front application and its components is designed. The backend was designed to suit with the Djnago framework, which together with the django REST framework can be used to quickly create an API (Application Programming Interface) communicating with the database. A model for storing data from a frontend application was designed. The work then describes the implementation of this application divided into frontend and backend. The backend describes the implementation of the API and the database. The implementation of the model itself, serializer and methods for communication with the frontend application are described. In the frontend, a vue router is created, which is used to dynamically change the content of the page, then the components themselves are created, which serve as building blocks of the application. These components contain three parts, namely structure, JavaScript code and CSS (Cascading Sytle Sheets). Components can pass data and call functions of other components. The last part of the work is testing of the application itself. Its functionality is tested by calculating the score of already assessed vulnerabilities and some items of the OWASP ASVS (Application Security Verification Standard). Furthermore, security is tested by testing several known vulnerabilities, along with testing with OWASP ASVS
