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.
- Login forms
- Password reset functionality
- Multi-factor authentication
- Session tokens
- JWT tokens
- OAuth flows
Test authentication mechanisms for logical flaws, parameter manipulation, and bypass techniques that allow unauthorized access.
For comprehensive password reset vulnerability testing, see the Password Reset directory which contains detailed PoC examples and specialized payloads for password reset attacks.
See auth-bypass-payloads.txt for a comprehensive list of authentication bypass payloads and techniques.
