Security Assessment

Forensic Identity Audit

A standard code review looks for bugs. A Forensic Audit looks for “Authority Leakage” — the subtle flaws in your identity layer that attackers actually exploit.

What We Examine

Your identity layer is the gatekeeper to everything. We perform deep-dive analysis of the components that determine who can do what in your system:

  • JWT Validation — Token verification, signature validation, expiration handling, and claim extraction
  • Claim Mapping — How identity claims flow through your system and get translated into permissions
  • Permission Logic — Authorization checks, role hierarchies, and access control enforcement
  • Session Management — Token refresh flows, session invalidation, and concurrent session handling
  • Identity Provider Integration — OAuth/OIDC configuration, SAML assertions, and federation trust

What We Find

We look for the vulnerabilities that standard code reviews and automated scanners miss:

  • Authority Leakage — Unintended privilege escalation paths
  • Claim Confusion — Mishandled or misinterpreted identity attributes
  • Token Manipulation — Weaknesses in token generation or validation
  • Broken Access Control — IDOR, horizontal/vertical privilege escalation
  • Race Conditions — Time-of-check to time-of-use vulnerabilities in auth flows

What You Receive

Every audit concludes with actionable deliverables:

  • Executive summary of findings and risk assessment
  • Detailed technical report with reproduction steps
  • Prioritized remediation roadmap
  • Code-level fix recommendations
  • Follow-up review to verify remediation
