hunt-ato

To systematically hunt for account takeover vulnerabilities, you follow a taxonomy of 12 distinct attack paths targeting OAuth, JWT, and password reset flows. This approach provides structured primitives to identify critical impact chains rather than misidentifying them as simple bugs.

The best way to validate an account takeover path is by demonstrating a cross-account takeover scenario. You must adhere to strict validation protocols to confirm critical impact by proving you can compromise a different user's account.

You check for password reset poisoning by analyzing the target's token generation and header handling. The hunting process determines if the application uses predictable tokens or accepts host-header injection to manipulate reset links.

Yes, you can use this for offensive security operations targeting OAuth device code abuse. It provides structured primitives to manually hunt and validate exploitation paths across diverse authentication mechanisms.

Account takeover vulnerabilities are often misidentified as simple bugs because their critical impact is only realized through chained exploitation. Identifying them requires structured hunting across authentication mechanisms to prove full cross-account takeover.
