Authentication Bypass

Description

Authentication bypass vulnerabilities allow an attacker to gain access to a system without providing valid credentials. These vulnerabilities can result from flawed authentication logic, improper session management, or weak authentication mechanisms.

Common Attack Vectors

  • Login forms
  • Password reset functionality
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Session tokens
  • JWT tokens
  • OAuth flows

Testing Approach

Test authentication mechanisms for logical flaws, parameter manipulation, and bypass techniques that allow unauthorized access.
