SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps reviewers evaluate authorization testing automation for weaknesses that can lead to account takeover, privilege escalation, identity confusion, or unsafe trust propagation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identity and recovery review: Inspect enrollment, login, recovery, reset, and step-up flows for weak proofing or bypass paths.
  • Trust-boundary analysis: Trace how identity and authorization context moves across services, jobs, headers, and delegated actions.
  • Evidence-based findings: Produce review output grounded in code, configuration, tests, documentation, and observable behavior.
  • Use Case: A security reviewer can use this skill to assess a login or recovery flow, confirm whether authorization decisions rely on client-controlled data, and document concrete remediation steps.

Quick Start

Ask Copilot to review the target authentication or authorization flow with this skill and focus on identity proof, recovery, propagation, and privilege enforcement.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review authorization flows for privilege escalation and weak identity proofing?▼

Trust-boundary analysis traces how identity and authorization context moves across services, jobs, and headers. It requires evidence-based validation of privilege enforcement and safe failure handling to confirm controls cannot be bypassed.

What is the best way to automate security reviews for account takeover and identity confusion risks?▼

Evidence-based findings are produced by inspecting code, configuration, tests, and documentation for authorization weaknesses. Observable review gaps are documented when privilege enforcement controls cannot be verified.

How do I check if my authorization decisions rely on client-controlled data during a security review?▼

Trust-boundary analysis traces identity and authorization context across services, jobs, headers, and delegated actions. It requires evidence-based validation of privilege enforcement and documents observable review gaps when controls cannot be verified.

Can I use this authorization testing approach for step-up authentication and credential recovery flows?▼

Identity and recovery review inspects enrollment, login, recovery, reset, and step-up flows for weak proofing or bypass paths. It requires evidence-based validation of privilege enforcement and safe failure handling across code, configuration, and tests.

Why does my authorization security review miss trust propagation vulnerabilities across services?▼

Trust-boundary analysis traces how identity and authorization context moves across services, jobs, headers, and delegated actions. It requires evidence-based validation of privilege enforcement and documents observable review gaps when controls cannot be verified.
