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.

API security: a panther beside an API shield with live checks for auth, rate limiting and threat detection, over the steps discover, validate, protect and monitor

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.
