It runs a fixed workflow — detect the auth implementation, scan for known anti-patterns,
verify cryptographic choices, check token/session lifecycle, and audit authorization logic
(RBAC/ABAC) — checking for vulnerabilities such as JWT signed with none, undersized JWT
secrets, missing/too-long token expiration, refresh tokens in localStorage, session fixation,
missing CSRF protection, and OAuth flows missing PKCE or the state parameter.
Auth Audit Skill
Overview
Comprehensive audit of authentication and authorization implementations.

Storage, expiry, regeneration, fixation |
| OAuth2 |
PKCE, state param, redirect validation |
| Passwords |
Hashing algo, strength rules, reset flow |

Implementation, backup codes, recovery |
Workflow
- Detect auth implementation (JWT, sessions, OAuth)
- Scan for known anti-patterns
- Verify cryptographic choices
- Check token/session lifecycle
- Audit authorization logic (RBAC, ABAC)
Common Vulnerabilities
- JWT signed with
none algorithm
- JWT secret too short (< 256 bits)
- No token expiration or too long
- Refresh tokens stored in localStorage
- Session fixation after login
- Missing CSRF protection
- OAuth without PKCE for public clients
- Missing
state parameter in OAuth flow
