Web applications are more and more accustomed offer e-services like online banking, online searching, and social networking over the web. With the boost of the web applications in information society, Web application software security becomes more and more important. With this advancement, the attacks over the web applications have conjointly multiplied. The root causes following these vulnerabilities are lacking of security awareness, design flaws and implementation bugs. Detecting and solving vulnerability is the effective technique to enhance Web security. Many vulnerability analysis techniques in web-based applications observe and report on different types of vulnerabilities. Even though, no particular technique provides a generic technology-independent handling of Web-based vulnerabilities. In this paper, a replacement approach is proposed, implemented and analysed results for Web application Vulnerability Assessment (WVA) based on the Rational Unified Process (RUP) framework, hereafter referred as the Rational Unified WVA.
