Security Audit: Authentication & Authorization

Deep dive into auth mechanisms and access control.

Authentication Review

  1. Password Handling

    • Hashing algorithm (bcrypt/argon2?)
    • Salt usage
    • Password requirements
    • Reset flow security
  2. Session Management

    • Session ID generation
    • Session fixation protection
    • Timeout policies
    • Concurrent session handling
  3. Token Security

    • JWT implementation (if used)
    • Token storage (httpOnly? secure?)
    • Refresh token rotation
    • Token revocation
  4. Multi-factor

    • MFA implementation
    • Bypass vulnerabilities
    • Recovery codes

Authorization Review

  1. Access Control Model - RBAC? ABAC? ACL?
  2. Permission Checks - Consistent? Centralized?
  3. Privilege Escalation - Horizontal/vertical
  4. API Authorization - Every endpoint protected?
  5. Resource Ownership - IDOR vulnerabilities?
