About:
Authz0 is an automated authorization testing tool designed to streamline security validation for web applications. It automates the process of detecting authorization flaws, such as privilege escalation and broken access controls. The tool helps developers and security engineers efficiently identify vulnerabilities in their authorization logic.
Key Features:
  • Automated detection of authorization vulnerabilities
  • YAML-based configuration for test scenarios
  • Support for various HTTP methods and authentication mechanisms
  • CLI-based for easy integration into CI/CD pipelines
Use Cases:
  • Verifying role-based access control (RBAC) implementations
  • Conducting security regression testing during development cycles
  • Auditing API endpoints for privilege escalation flaws
Alternatives:
  • AutoRecon – Focuses on network reconnaissance rather than specific application authorization logic.
  • Nuclei – A general-purpose vulnerability scanner that requires custom templates for authorization testing, whereas Authz0 is purpose-built for this specific task.
