testing-api-for-broken-object-level-authorization

testing-api-for-broken-object-level-authorization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Njones17/AI-agent-master-cyber-skills-list. It costs 133 tokens per session (3,995 once invoked), scanned C, original, no licence file.

A security test for Broken Object Level Authorization, also called BOLA or IDOR. This is a flaw where a logged-in user can access or change another user’s data by changing an object identifier in an API request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test REST and GraphQL endpoints by changing numeric IDs, UUIDs, and other object identifiers in requests.
Why use it?
It helps find APIs that check whether someone is logged in but fail to check whether they own the requested resource.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade C, and why

testing-api-for-broken-object-level-authorization scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
