Step 2 of 5

Authentication boundary analysis

We examine how the application authenticates users — password reset, session management, OAuth callback, JWT handling. Authentication-boundary errors are the single largest source of critical-class findings in our engagement portfolio.

Step 2 of 5 — Authentication boundary analysis

What we look for

every entry, recovery, and elevation path an authenticated user touches.

What we find

token-replay surfaces, session-fixation gaps, OAuth-callback assumptions that don’t survive contact with an adversary.

What we conclude

the boundary either holds under pressure or it doesn’t. We document both outcomes the same way.
