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.
