Solutions · APIs & Auth

API & Authentication Security Assessment.

Focused on identity and authorization: token handling, session lifecycle, and tenant boundaries — the layer most likely to fail silently in an API-first product.

What's included

The services in this solution.

JWT Forgery

alg=none downgrade, signature stripping, and other forgery techniques against real auth flows.

Broken Access Control (IDOR/BOLA)

Cross-tenant access checks run against two live accounts on separate tenants.

Authentication Hardening

Login rate limiting, session fixation, logout invalidation, and token expiry.

Security Headers & CORS

CORS policy review against origin-reflection and overly permissive configurations.

Why it matters

The risk this addresses.

APIs often skip the defenses a browser-rendered web app gets for free — same-origin assumptions, visible navigation — and instead rely entirely on token validation and authorization logic holding up on every single call.

A missed tenant check in one endpoint is rarely one exposed page the way it might be in a traditional web app — it is usually every record belonging to every other tenant, which is why this assessment tests authorization boundaries with two real accounts rather than assuming the access-control logic is correct.

What to expect

How this engagement runs.

Scope endpoints & auth flows

Map every authenticated route and the token/session model behind it.

Test token & session handling

JWT forgery, session fixation, logout invalidation, and expiry checks.

Verify tenant boundaries

Cross-tenant IDOR/BOLA checks with two live accounts, not just code review.

Report & retest

Findings ranked by data exposure risk, then a retest once fixes ship.
