SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, base64, hashlib, hmac, jwt_tool, hashcat, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps assess the security of authentication mechanisms in mobile application APIs, identifying potential vulnerabilities such as broken authentication, insecure token management, session fixation, and more.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Security Assessment: Tests mobile API authentication to find broken authentication, insecure token management, session fixation, privilege escalation, and IDOR vulnerabilities.
  • Mobile-Specific JWT: Analyze JWT implementations for common vulnerabilities.
  • OAuth Flow Testing: Evaluate OAuth 2.0 / OIDC flows in mobile applications.
  • API Authorization Bypass: Check for broken object-level authorization in API endpoints.
  • Use Case: Utilize this Skill to perform security audits on mobile app backends and ensure API security during penetration tests.

Quick Start

To start testing, activate the skill for mobile API auth testing against a specific endpoint. Example: "Activate testing-mobile-api-authentication for /api/v1/auth/login".

FAQPage Schema
How do I test mobile API authentication for broken authorization and session fixation vulnerabilities?

You can test mobile API authentication by automating defined attack vectors to identify vulnerabilities like broken authentication, insecure token management, session fixation, and privilege escalation. This process systematically evaluates API authorization bypass and object-level security.

How do I analyze JWT implementations for common vulnerabilities in mobile applications?

Analyzing JWT implementations in mobile applications involves using JWT analysis tools to decode and inspect tokens for common security flaws. This testing targets mobile-specific JWT vulnerabilities to ensure secure token generation and validation mechanisms.

Can I evaluate OAuth 2.0 and OIDC flows in mobile applications using automated testing?

Yes, you can evaluate OAuth 2.0 and OIDC flows in mobile applications through automated testing. This process checks for broken object-level authorization in API endpoints and assesses the overall security of the authentication flow mechanisms.

What tools do I need for mobile API penetration testing and JWT analysis?

For mobile API penetration testing and JWT analysis, you need tools like Burp Suite, mitmproxy, Postman, and JWT analysis tools. These tools facilitate testing common mobile-specific authentication vectors and generating detailed test reports for findings.

Does mobile API security testing check for IDOR and privilege escalation vulnerabilities?

Yes, mobile API security testing checks for IDOR and privilege escalation vulnerabilities. The testing process targets broken object-level authorization in API endpoints to identify insecure direct object references and prevent unauthorized privilege escalation.

How do I generate security audit reports for mobile app API authentication tests?

To generate security audit reports for mobile app API authentication tests, you execute automated testing scripts against specific endpoints. These scripts compile findings on authentication vulnerabilities into structured test reports for security audits and penetration tests.
