authorization-testing

IDOR and privilege escalation testing validates whether users can access or modify resources they shouldn't by authenticating as different test accounts and comparing responses. This Skill automates dynamic testing across horizontal and vertical privilege escalation scenarios, producing structured reports that classify results as VALIDATED, FALSE_POSITIVE, or UNVALIDATED to confirm actual access control flaws.

Yes, authorization testing automates validation of missing access controls, forced browsing, and function-level access control by executing HTTP requests against running applications with different user roles. The Skill generates concrete evidence through baseline and test responses, eliminating manual dynamic testing and confirming whether endpoints are properly protected.

Authorization vulnerability testing validates access control flaws by executing dynamic tests that map to CWE vulnerabilities like IDOR, privilege escalation, and missing authorization. It produces structured reports with redacted evidence, baseline comparisons, and classification results, satisfying functional and technical requirements for automated security testing workflows.

Confirm privilege escalation by testing endpoints with low-privileged user credentials against high-privileged actions, comparing responses to detect unauthorized access. This Skill automates the process using test accounts, providing HTTP request/response evidence and CWE mappings to validate whether vertical privilege escalation exists.

Static code analysis flags potential authorization issues in source code, while dynamic authorization testing confirms vulnerabilities by executing actual HTTP requests against a running application with different user accounts. This Skill performs dynamic testing to prove whether flagged issues are real or false positives by providing concrete evidence.

Yes, authorization testing requires multiple test accounts with different privilege levels to validate access control across IDOR, privilege escalation, and missing authorization scenarios. The Skill uses these accounts to execute comparative tests and generate evidence showing whether users can access resources beyond their authorization scope.
