What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you quickly determine whether a vulnerability primarily stems from authentication mechanics, session handling, or authorization boundaries, so you test the correct layer first instead of wasting cycles on unrelated exploit paths.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Authentication & Session Boundary Triage: Focus testing on login, registration, password reset, 2FA, and session integrity (e.g., fixation, invalidation, and lifecycle issues) when the weakness is identity entry-point related.
- Object/Function Authorization Scoping: Route investigation to object-level authorization problems such as BOLA/IDOR-style missing permission checks across tenants, roles, and resource ownership.
- Token, Browser Boundary, and Federation Planning: Select targeted testing for JWT/OAuth/SSO protocol misconfiguration, plus browser trust boundary issues like CORS/CSRF and their interaction with authenticated requests.
Quick Start
Use the auth-sec skill to decide whether your target requires login/session validation, object authorization testing, or token/OAuth/SSO and browser boundary checks by answering which of those boundaries the observed behavior most closely implicates.
