SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? When testing web applications for authentication and authorization weaknesses, it is hard to know where to start: login bypass, object-level authorization, JWT/OAuth token attacks, CSRF, CORS, or SAML. This Skill acts as the P1 category router that classifies the issue and directs you to the correct deeper topic skill before testing begins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Category Routing: Maps findings to seven specialized sub-skills covering authentication bypass, IDOR/BOLA, JWT/OAuth token attacks, OAuth/OIDC misconfiguration, CSRF, CORS, and SAML assertion attacks. - Structured Testing Flow: Recommends a sequence from session boundary confirmation, to object/function-level authorization, to token and protocol details, then enterprise federation. - Use Case: During a web CTF or authorized penetration test you discover a login page with JWT sessions and cross-origin API calls. Use this Skill to decide whether to start with authentication bypass, token attacks, or CORS misconfiguration testing. ## Quick Start Use the auth-sec skill to classify the authentication and authorization attack surface of the target and route me to the right specialized testing skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test a web application for authentication and authorization flaws?▼

Start by confirming the authentication model and session boundaries, then test object-level and function-level authorization, then move to token, cross-origin, and protocol details. This router maps each area to a dedicated skill covering login bypass, IDOR, JWT/OAuth, CSRF, CORS, and SAML.

What is the difference between authentication bypass and IDOR testing?▼

Authentication bypass targets login mechanics such as password reset, 2FA, enumeration, and brute-force protections. IDOR testing targets broken object-level authorization (BOLA/BFLA), where authenticated users access objects or functions belonging to other users or tenants.

When should I test JWT and OAuth token attacks versus OAuth misconfiguration?▼

Test JWT/OAuth token attacks when you suspect algorithm confusion, key trust issues, claim abuse, or token forgery. Test OAuth/OIDC misconfiguration when the concern is redirect URI validation, state, nonce, PKCE, or account binding in the authorization flow.

Does this skill cover CSRF and CORS testing?▼

Yes, it routes to dedicated skills for both. The CSRF skill covers tokens, SameSite, JSON CSRF, and login CSRF, while the CORS skill covers reflected Origin, credentialed cross-origin reads, and allowlist bypass.

When should SAML SSO assertion attacks be tested?▼

Test SAML when the target uses enterprise federation or SSO. The SAML skill covers assertion wrapping, signature validation, audience restriction, and ACS boundary issues, and is reached after confirming the identity protocol in use.
