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

PatternFirst Test
alg:none acceptanceunsigned token with trailing dot
RS256 confusionswitch to HS256 using public key as secret
kid lookup trustpath traversal or injection in kid
remote key fetch trustattacker-controlled jku or x5u
weak secretoffline crack with targeted wordlists
