pentest-access-control

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps penetration testers identify and exploit vulnerabilities related to access control, enabling them to bypass authorization mechanisms and escalate their privileges within a target system.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Attack Surface Discovery: Identifies high-risk areas like admin panels, user role management, and SSO integrations.
• Exploitation Techniques: Provides methods for vertical and horizontal privilege escalation, API gateway bypass, and multi-tenant isolation flaws.
• Use Case: When testing a web application, use this Skill to systematically check if a regular user can access administrative endpoints or modify other users' data by manipulating request parameters or HTTP headers.

Quick Start

Use the pentest-access-control skill to test for vertical privilege escalation by attempting to access admin endpoints with a standard user's credentials.
