What problem does it solve?
It helps you identify and reason about authentication and authorization weaknesses by separating login mechanics, session handling, object-level access control, and identity protocol trust boundaries so you test the right layer first.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Authentication flow decisioning: choose whether issues are primarily login/session problems or authorization boundary problems based on observed behavior and threat model.
- Authorization coverage mapping: focus on object-level authorization failures such as IDOR/BOLA/BFLA and cross-tenant or cross-origin access issues before moving deeper.
- Protocol and browser-boundary guidance: route analysis toward OAuth/JWT, OAuth OIDC misconfiguration, CSRF protections, CORS policy risks, and SAML assertion validation issues when those patterns appear.
Quick Start
Use the auth-sec skill to route your testing of a target’s login, session, and authorization behavior by telling it what endpoints, flows, and suspected weaknesses you observed.
