auditing-webauthn-and-passkey-flows

auditing-webauthn-and-passkey-flows is a skill for Claude Code from UnboundCompute/security-agent-skills. It costs 173 tokens per session (2,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reviewing WebAuthn and passkey login and registration checks. WebAuthn lets an authenticator sign a server challenge, but the server must also verify that the ceremony belongs to the intended site, session, and account.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect challenge, origin, relying-party, account-binding, and single-use checks before a credential or authenticated session is created.
Why use it?
A valid signature alone may still be replayed or attached to the wrong user if required server checks are missing or bypassable.

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

auditing-webauthn-and-passkey-flows 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 1mo 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.

Auditing passkey and WebAuthn ceremonies: when a verified signature seats the wrong user

A passkey ceremony proves that some authenticator signed a challenge. It does not, by itself, prove who is signing in. Every WebAuthn bug worth finding lives in the gap between "this signature is valid" and "therefore user U is logged in," and that gap is closed only by a specific list of server-side checks. When one of those checks is missing, homegrown, or bypassable, attacker-shaped bytes from the ceremony response flow straight into an authenticated session. You find these by reading the verification path and asking, for each required check, whether it runs and whether the value it checks is the one the attacker cannot forge.

When to use

  • Code verifies a WebAuthn registration or authentication response and then creates a credential or a session.
  • The application implements the ceremony itself, or calls a library but supplies the policy and expected values.
  • You want to know whether a valid signature can be replayed, phished, or bound to the wrong account.

Scope check

Test passkey flows only on systems you own or are authorized to assess, with test accounts and test authenticators. A ceremony bypass is an authentication bypass, so treat any confirmed finding as account-takeover-grade and coordinate disclosure. If you can't name the authorization, stop.

The loop

  1. Map the verification path and whether a library owns the ceremony. Find the registration and authentication endpoints and the function that decides success. Determine whether the ceremony is delegated to a conformant verification library or hand-rolled. If a library owns it, the bug moves from "missing check" to "wrong arguments": read what expected-challenge, expected-origin, expected relying-party identifier, and required-user-verification values are passed in. A library called with defaults verifies only what you gave it.

  2. Check challenge binding. The challenge in the response must equal a value the server generated, stored against this session, has not used before, and has not let expire. The bug is a challenge compared against a client-sent field, against a constant, or not at all, or a challenge that is never invalidated after use so the same response replays. If nothing reads a server-side challenge store before the compare, the ceremony is replayable.
