manual-decision-trees

To find business logic and workflow vulnerabilities during a pentest, use a structured decision-tree framework to systematically evaluate authorization, state transitions, and object relationships across actor, state, transport, and secondary-object dimensions.

Workflow-centric security testing evaluates how different users, states, and transport methods interact within a target system, and you need it when auditing complex features to uncover hidden IDOR or business logic flaws that isolated endpoint testing misses.

Systematically test authorization and state transitions for IDOR by applying a decision-tree methodology that forces you to explore actor permissions and object state changes across different transport protocols for comprehensive security coverage.

Manual decision tree testing works effectively for bug bounty recon by providing a structured methodology to perform deep-hunt analysis on application workflows, moving beyond surface-level scanning to identify high-impact authorization vulnerabilities.

The best way to test a document export system for security flaws is to use a structured testing plan that systematically checks the export function across different user roles, object states, and transport protocols to identify authorization and logic bugs.
