Discovering and accessing unprotected pages, APIs, and administrative interfaces by enumerating URLs and bypassing authentication controls during authorized security assessments.

Detect and prevent API enumeration attacks including BOLA and IDOR exploitation by monitoring sequential identifier access patterns and authorization failures.

Scans GitHub Actions workflows and CI/CD pipeline configurations for supply chain attack vectors including unpinned actions, script injection via expressions, dependency confusion, and secrets exposure. Uses PyGithub and YAML parsing for automated audit. Use when hardening CI/CD pipelines or investigating compromised build systems.

Tests APIs for Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) vulnerabilities where regular users can invoke administrative functions or access privileged API endpoints by directly calling them. The tester identifies admin and privileged endpoints, then attempts to access them with regular user credentials by manipulating HTTP methods, URL paths, and request parameters. Maps to OWASP API5:2023 Broken Function Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving BFLA testing, admin endpoint bypass, function-level access control testing, or API privilege escalation.

Tests APIs for excessive data exposure where endpoints return more data than the client application needs, relying on the frontend to filter sensitive fields. The tester intercepts API responses and analyzes them for leaked PII, internal identifiers, debug information, or sensitive business data that the UI does not display but the API transmits. This maps to OWASP API3:2023 Broken Object Property Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving API data leakage testing, excessive data exposure, response filtering bypass, or API over-fetching.

Exploits JWT algorithm confusion vulnerabilities where the server's token verification library accepts the algorithm specified in the JWT header rather than enforcing a fixed algorithm. The tester manipulates the alg header to switch from RS256 to HS256 (using the RSA public key as the HMAC secret), sets alg to none to bypass signature verification, or exploits kid/jku/x5u header injection to supply attacker-controlled keys. Activates for requests involving JWT algorithm confusion, alg none attack, key confusion attack, or JWT signature bypass.

Identifies and exploits SQL injection vulnerabilities in web applications during authorized penetration tests using manual techniques and automated tools like sqlmap. The tester detects injection points through error-based, union-based, blind boolean, and time-based blind techniques across all major database engines (MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, Oracle) to demonstrate data extraction, authentication bypass, and potential remote code execution. Activates for requests involving SQL injection testing, SQLi exploitation, database security assessment, or injection vulnerability verification.

This skill covers implementing Gitleaks for detecting and preventing hardcoded secrets in git repositories. It addresses configuring pre-commit hooks, CI/CD pipeline integration, custom rule authoring for organization-specific secrets, baseline management for existing repositories, and remediation workflows for exposed credentials.

Write custom Semgrep SAST rules in YAML to detect application-specific vulnerabilities, enforce coding standards, and integrate into CI/CD pipelines.

Tests API rate limiting implementations for bypass vulnerabilities by manipulating request headers, IP addresses, HTTP methods, API versions, and encoding schemes to circumvent request throttling controls. The tester identifies rate limit headers, determines enforcement mechanisms, and attempts bypasses including X-Forwarded-For spoofing, parameter pollution, case variation, and endpoint path manipulation. Maps to OWASP API4:2023 Unrestricted Resource Consumption. Activates for requests involving rate limit bypass, API throttling evasion, brute force protection testing, or API abuse prevention assessment.

Detect and exploit blind Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerabilities using out-of-band techniques, DNS interactions, and timing analysis to access internal services and cloud metadata endpoints.

Execute and test the JWT none algorithm attack to bypass signature verification by manipulating the alg header field in JSON Web Tokens.

This skill covers implementing Software Composition Analysis (SCA) using Snyk to detect vulnerable open-source dependencies in CI/CD pipelines. It addresses scanning package manifests and lockfiles, automated fix pull request generation, license compliance checking, continuous monitoring of deployed applications, and integration with GitHub, GitLab, and Jenkins pipelines.

Detect and exploit second-order SQL injection vulnerabilities where malicious input is stored in a database and later executed in an unsafe SQL query during a different application operation.

Auditing HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and cookie attributes to identify missing or misconfigured browser-level protections.

Test for Server-Side Request Forgery vulnerabilities by probing cloud metadata endpoints, internal network services, and protocol handlers through user-controllable URL parameters. Tests AWS/GCP/Azure metadata APIs (169.254.169.254), internal port scanning via HTTP, URL scheme bypass techniques, and DNS rebinding detection.

This skill covers integrating Aqua Security's Trivy scanner into CI/CD pipelines for comprehensive container image vulnerability detection. It addresses scanning Docker images for OS package and application dependency CVEs, detecting misconfigurations in Dockerfiles, scanning filesystem and git repositories, and establishing severity-based quality gates that block deployment of vulnerable images.

This skill covers hardening GitHub Actions workflows against supply chain attacks, credential theft, and privilege escalation. It addresses pinning actions to SHA digests, minimizing GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, protecting secrets from exfiltration, preventing script injection in workflow expressions, and implementing required reviewers for workflow changes.

Tests REST and GraphQL APIs for Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR) vulnerabilities where an authenticated user can access or modify resources belonging to other users by manipulating object identifiers in API requests. The tester intercepts API calls, identifies object ID parameters (numeric IDs, UUIDs, slugs), and systematically replaces them with IDs belonging to other users to determine if the server enforces per-object authorization. This is OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 risk API1. Activates for requests involving BOLA testing, IDOR in APIs, object-level authorization testing, or API access control bypass.

Tests APIs for mass assignment (auto-binding) vulnerabilities where clients can modify object properties they should not have access to by including additional parameters in API requests. The tester identifies writable endpoints, adds undocumented fields to request bodies (role, isAdmin, price, balance), and checks if the server binds these to the data model without filtering. Part of OWASP API3:2023 Broken Object Property Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving mass assignment testing, parameter binding abuse, auto-binding vulnerability, or API over-posting.

Systematically testing web applications for broken access control vulnerabilities including privilege escalation, missing function-level checks, and insecure direct object references.

Test JWT implementations for critical vulnerabilities including algorithm confusion, none algorithm bypass, kid parameter injection, and weak secret exploitation to achieve authentication bypass and privilege escalation.

Identifying sensitive data exposure vulnerabilities including API key leakage, PII in responses, insecure storage, and unprotected data transmission during security assessments.

Tests web applications for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities by injecting JavaScript payloads into reflected, stored, and DOM-based contexts to demonstrate client-side code execution, session hijacking, and user impersonation. The tester identifies all injection points and output contexts, crafts context-appropriate payloads, and bypasses sanitization and CSP protections. Activates for requests involving XSS testing, cross-site scripting assessment, client-side injection testing, or JavaScript injection vulnerability testing.
