access-control-patterns

To detect IDOR vulnerabilities, this Skill performs systematic pattern analysis on user flows to identify insecure direct object references. It outlines detection patterns and validates missing ownership verification across web services and APIs.

RBAC and ABAC access control patterns differ by authorization logic: RBAC assigns permissions based on user roles, while ABAC evaluates attributes like resource properties. This Skill provides design guidance for implementing both models securely.

To prevent privilege escalation, this Skill recommends implementing specific authorization checks that block unauthorized elevation of privileges. It audits your existing access control workflows to ensure correct ownership verification patterns are applied.

Yes, you can audit access control logic for existing web services by describing your app's access rules and running systematic pattern analysis. The Skill validates ownership checks and authorization patterns against your RBAC or ABAC implementation.

Automated access control auditing limitations include relying on described app access rules rather than executing live runtime tests. The Skill focuses on static pattern analysis for IDOR risks and privilege escalation prevention without dynamic penetration testing.
