Pentest Business Logic

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to perform business logic penetration testing. It identifies vulnerabilities in application workflows and decision-making processes, going beyond traditional technical security assessments. The tool focuses on flaws in how an application behaves rather than just its underlying code.

When to use it

• Testing e-commerce platforms: Identify ways to manipulate discounts or bypass payment processing steps.
• Evaluating financial applications: Assess the robustness of loan approval processes and fraud detection mechanisms.
• Auditing user account management systems: Determine if users can escalate privileges or gain unauthorized access through workflow manipulation.
• Validating complex rule engines: Verify that business rules are correctly implemented and cannot be exploited to achieve unintended outcomes.

Key capabilities

• Business logic vulnerability identification
• Workflow analysis
• Decision-making process assessment
• Application behavior testing

Example prompts

• "Can you test the discount application workflow on our e-commerce site for vulnerabilities?"
• "Analyze the loan approval process in our banking app and identify potential bypasses."
• "Simulate a user attempting to escalate privileges within our account management system."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires a detailed understanding of the business logic being tested. Providing clear documentation or diagrams of workflows will significantly improve the accuracy and effectiveness of the assessment.
