About browser-auth-flow
browser-auth-flow is a security skill for probing a website’s authentication flow and producing structured findings for human review. It captures a login trajectory, checks configurable risks, and keeps captured sensitive data quarantined.
Key features
- 01Recorded login-flow capture
- 02CSRF and redirect checks
- 03Cookie and OAuth checks
- 04Severity-rated findings and verdict
- 05Sensitive-data quarantine
Use cases
- 01Audit a new authentication flow before deployment
- 02Investigate token leaks or redirect issues
- 03Create a baseline for regression checks

Details
From the project READMEBrowser Auth Flow
Adversarial probe of a site's authentication. Drives the login flow once, records the trajectory, then runs a configurable set of probes against the captured artifacts and live page. Output is a structured findings.md inside the RVF container.
When to use
- Pre-deployment audit of a new auth flow.
- Investigating a suspected token leak or redirect issue.
- Establishing a baseline for ongoing regression checks.
Steps
-
Open a recorded session via
browser-record. -
Drive the auth flow as in
browser-login(credentials come from--credentials <handle>referencingbrowser-cookiesif the run is a re-auth probe). -
Run probes:
csrf: inspect the login POST in the trajectory; verify a same-origin token field is present and non-empty.redirect: watchbrowser_get-urlafter each nav for cross-origin redirects with auth state in the URL or fragment. Flag any token-bearing URL that crosses an origin boundary.cookie: walkdocument.cookieviabrowser_eval. For each cookie, checkSecure,HttpOnly,SameSite, expiry, and entropy of the value. Flag missing flags or short tokens. Pass each throughaidefence_scanto flag PII embedded in cookie values.oauth: if the flow involves a third-party provider, capture the authorization request, verifystateandnonceare present and high-entropy, verifyredirect_urimatches the registered callback domain.
-
Quarantine any token / credential / PII captured during probing — it stays inside the RVF container's findings, never returns to the model unredacted (
aidefence_is_safegate frombrowser-extractapplies if you read the findings back). -
Write
findings.mdwith one section per probe, severity rating per finding, and averdict(pass / warn / fail). -
Index the session in
browser-sessionswithtag: auth-probeso future audits compare against it.
Caveats
- This skill probes; it does not exploit. Do not chain follow-up requests using a captured token.
- Credentials must come from a vaulted handle or interactive entry. Never hardcode them in the field map.
- Some probes require multiple page loads. Trajectory step count for an auth probe typically lands at 15–40 steps; budget accordingly.
- The output is structured for human review. Do not auto-act on findings without surfacing them to the user first.
