Identifying sensitive data exposure vulnerabilities including API key leakage, PII in responses, insecure storage, and unprotected data transmission during security assessments.
Testing For Open Redirect Vulnerabilities
Identify and test open redirect vulnerabilities in web applications by analyzing URL redirection parameters, bypass techniques, and exploitation chains for phishing and token theft.
Testing For JSON Web Token Vulnerabilities
Test JWT implementations for critical vulnerabilities including algorithm confusion, none algorithm bypass, kid parameter injection, and weak secret exploitation to achieve authentication bypass and privilege escalation.
Testing For Host Header Injection
Test web applications for HTTP Host header injection vulnerabilities to identify password reset poisoning, web cache poisoning, SSRF, and virtual host routing manipulation risks.
Testing For Email Header Injection
Test web application email functionality for SMTP header injection vulnerabilities that allow attackers to inject additional email headers, modify recipients, and abuse contact forms for spam relay.
Testing For Business Logic Vulnerabilities
Identifying flaws in application business logic that allow price manipulation, workflow bypass, and privilege escalation beyond what technical vulnerability scanners can detect.
Testing For Broken Access Control
Systematically testing web applications for broken access control vulnerabilities including privilege escalation, missing function-level checks, and insecure direct object references.
Testing Cors Misconfiguration
Identifying and exploiting Cross-Origin Resource Sharing misconfigurations that allow unauthorized cross-domain data access and credential theft during security assessments.
Testing API Security With Owasp Top 10
Systematically assessing REST and GraphQL API endpoints against the OWASP API Security Top 10 risks using automated and manual testing techniques.
Testing API For Mass Assignment Vulnerability
Tests APIs for mass assignment (auto-binding) vulnerabilities where clients can modify object properties they should not have access to by including additional parameters in API requests. The tester identifies writable endpoints, adds undocumented fields to request bodies (role, isAdmin, price, balance), and checks if the server binds these to the data model without filtering. Part of OWASP API3:2023 Broken Object Property Level Authorization. Activates for requests involving mass assignment testing, parameter binding abuse, auto-binding vulnerability, or API over-posting.
Testing API For Broken Object Level Authorization
Tests REST and GraphQL APIs for Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR) vulnerabilities where an authenticated user can access or modify resources belonging to other users by manipulating object identifiers in API requests. The tester intercepts API calls, identifies object ID parameters (numeric IDs, UUIDs, slugs), and systematically replaces them with IDs belonging to other users to determine if the server enforces per-object authorization. This is OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 risk API1. Activates for requests involving BOLA testing, IDOR in APIs, object-level authorization testing, or API access control bypass.
Testing API Authentication Weaknesses
Tests API authentication mechanisms for weaknesses including broken token validation, missing authentication on endpoints, weak password policies, credential stuffing susceptibility, token leakage in URLs or logs, and session management flaws. The tester evaluates JWT implementation, API key handling, OAuth flows, and session token entropy to identify authentication bypasses. Maps to OWASP API2:2023 Broken Authentication. Activates for requests involving API authentication testing, token validation assessment, credential security testing, or API auth bypass.
Testing Android Intents For Vulnerabilities
Tests Android inter-process communication (IPC) through intents for vulnerabilities including intent injection, unauthorized component access, broadcast sniffing, pending intent hijacking, and content provider data leakage. Use when assessing Android app attack surface through exported components, testing intent-based data flows, or evaluating IPC security. Activates for requests involving Android intent security, IPC testing, exported component analysis, or Drozer assessment.
Securing Serverless Functions
This skill covers security hardening for serverless compute platforms including AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, and Google Cloud Functions. It addresses least privilege IAM roles, dependency vulnerability scanning, secrets management integration, input validation, function URL authentication, and runtime monitoring to protect against injection attacks, credential theft, and supply chain compromises.
Securing Remote Access To Ot Environment
This skill covers implementing secure remote access to OT/ICS environments for operators, engineers, and vendors while preventing unauthorized access that could compromise industrial operations. It addresses jump server architecture, multi-factor authentication, session recording, privileged access management, vendor remote access controls, and compliance with IEC 62443 and NERC CIP-005 remote access requirements.
Securing Kubernetes On Cloud
This skill covers hardening managed Kubernetes clusters on EKS, AKS, and GKE by implementing Pod Security Standards, network policies, workload identity, RBAC scoping, image admission controls, and runtime security monitoring. It addresses cloud-specific security features including IRSA for EKS, Workload Identity for GKE, and Managed Identities for AKS.
Securing Historian Server In Ot Environment
This skill covers hardening and securing process historian servers (OSIsoft PI, Honeywell PHD, GE Proficy, AVEVA Historian) in OT environments. It addresses network placement across Purdue levels, access control for historian interfaces, data replication through DMZ using data diodes or PI-to-PI connectors, SQL injection prevention in historian queries, and integrity protection of process data used for safety analysis, regulatory reporting, and process optimization.
Securing Helm Chart Deployments
Secure Helm chart deployments by validating chart integrity, scanning templates for misconfigurations, and enforcing security contexts in Kubernetes releases.
Securing GitHub Actions Workflows
This skill covers hardening GitHub Actions workflows against supply chain attacks, credential theft, and privilege escalation. It addresses pinning actions to SHA digests, minimizing GITHUB_TOKEN permissions, protecting secrets from exfiltration, preventing script injection in workflow expressions, and implementing required reviewers for workflow changes.
Securing Container Registry Images
Securing container registry images by implementing vulnerability scanning with Trivy and Grype, enforcing image signing with Cosign and Sigstore, configuring registry access controls, and building CI/CD pipelines that prevent deploying unscanned or unsigned images.
