api-auth-and-jwt-abuse

api-auth-and-jwt-abuse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 41 tokens per session (594 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-auth-and-jwt-abuse, MIT.

A security-testing guide for checking how APIs trust login tokens, API keys, claims, request headers, and limits on repeated requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for authorized testing of JWTs, bearer tokens, API keys, token claims, signing settings, key lookups, forwarded-IP headers, hidden fields, and batched requests.
Why use it?
It helps find cases where a token or request can falsely claim a different role, organization, audience, or identity, or avoid protections against bulk activity.

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 A, and why

api-auth-and-jwt-abuse scanned grade A with 0 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 9d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

SKILL: API Auth and JWT Abuse — Token Trust, Header Tricks, and Rate Limits

AI LOAD INSTRUCTION: Use this skill when APIs rely on JWT, bearer tokens, API keys, or weak request identity signals. Focus on token trust boundaries, claim misuse, header spoofing, and rate-limit bypass.

1. TOKEN TRIAGE

Inspect:

  • alg, kid, jku, x5u
  • role, org, tenant, scope, or privilege claims
  • issuer and audience mismatches
  • reuse of mobile and web tokens across products

2. QUICK ATTACK PICKS

Pattern First Test
alg:none acceptance unsigned token with trailing dot
RS256 confusion switch to HS256 using public key as secret
kid lookup trust path traversal or injection in kid
remote key fetch trust attacker-controlled jku or x5u
weak secret offline crack with targeted wordlists

3. HIDDEN FIELDS AND BATCH ABUSE

Mass assignment field picks

role
isAdmin
admin
verified
plan
tier
permissions
org
owner

Rate limit and batch abuse picks

X-Forwarded-For: 1.2.3.4
X-Real-IP: 5.6.7.8
Forwarded: for=9.9.9.9

GraphQL or JSON batch abuse candidates:

  • arrays of login mutations
  • bulk object fetches with varying IDs
  • repeated password reset or verification calls in one request

4. RATE LIMIT BYPASS FAMILIES

X-Forwarded-For
X-Real-IP
Forwarded
User-Agent rotation
Path case / slash variants

5. NEXT ROUTING

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
