SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers implement robust authentication and role-based access control (RBAC) mechanisms, preventing common vulnerabilities like broken authentication and authorization flaws.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Secure JWT Handling: Provides patterns for validating JWTs with essential claims (signature, expiry, issuer, audience).
  • RBAC Implementation: Offers guidance on both flat role-based and permission-based authorization models.
  • Vulnerability Prevention: Details common auth vulnerabilities (e.g., algorithm confusion, insecure token storage) and how to avoid them.
  • Use Case: When building a new API, use this Skill to generate secure middleware for verifying user tokens and ensuring only authorized users can access specific endpoints based on their roles or permissions.

Quick Start

Use the auth-rbac-scaffold skill to generate secure JWT validation middleware for a Node.js Express application.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement secure JWT validation middleware for my web application?

Secure JWT validation middleware verifies token signatures, expiry, issuer, and audience claims before allowing endpoint access. This Skill generates secure middleware code patterns that prevent broken authentication vulnerabilities like algorithm confusion across multiple programming languages.

What is the best way to set up role-based access control for an API?

Role-based access control for an API restricts endpoint access based on user roles or permissions. This Skill provides implementation patterns for both flat role-based and permission-based authorization models to prevent broken function level authorization flaws.

How does RBAC authorization middleware prevent OWASP API5:2023 vulnerabilities?

RBAC authorization middleware prevents OWASP API5:2023 by enforcing strict function level authorization checks at the endpoint layer. This Skill generates secure middleware that validates user roles and permissions, blocking unauthorized access to specific API endpoints.

Can I use this RBAC scaffold pattern with Node.js Express?

Yes, this RBAC scaffold pattern works with Node.js Express. The Skill generates secure JWT validation and role-based access control middleware specifically tailored for Express applications, ensuring only authorized users access specific endpoints.

What common authentication vulnerabilities should I avoid when issuing tokens?

Common authentication vulnerabilities to avoid include JWT algorithm confusion and insecure token storage. This Skill identifies these anti-patterns and provides secure code examples for token issuance and validation to address OWASP API2:2023 broken authentication risks.
