Why Logic Flaw Identification Matters
Automated scanners catch technical issues — but logic flaws require understanding:- How flows work
- What assumptions developers made
- Where trust boundaries break
- How user roles interact
- How states change across requests
How Snapsec Detects Logic Flaws
1
Analyze API Flows
Snapsec studies sequences of requests and responses, identifying weak assumptions.
2
Detect Broken Authorization
Finds missing object-level checks, broken role policies, and lateral movement opportunities.
3
Evaluate State & Workflow Logic
Identifies bypass opportunities in multi-step flows like payments, onboarding, or role escalations.
4
Map Logic Risks to Endpoints
Each flaw is tied to the exact API route or component that creates the vulnerability.
What Problems This Solves
IDOR Risks
Detects unsafe object access and broken reference validation.
Privilege Bypass
Highlights scenarios where users escalate roles or bypass steps.
Broken Multi-Step Flows
Exposes flaws in sign-up, payment, workflow, and business logic paths.
Key Benefits
Catch What Scanners Miss
Logic flaws require real flow understanding — Snapsec models it.
High-Impact Detection
Logic flaws often lead to critical, business-impacting exploits.
Flow-Aware Analysis
Evaluate logic across sequences, not isolated endpoints.
Faster Security Reviews
Reduce manual review time with pre-mapped logic threats.
Example Logic Flaws Identified
An IDOR vulnerability across multiple user switching endpoints.
A payment flow missing amount validation between steps.
A multi-role escalation path created by inconsistent middleware logic.
