Dev argues deterministic authz tooling beats AI pentest agents as AI-generated SaaS multiplies RBAC attack surface
prasanna_says · x · 2026-11-11
Makash shares a deterministic authorization-checking tool built in Jan 2026 with Claude Code, arguing that as AI codegen mainstreams, SaaS will grow more multi-tenant with more API routes protected by RBAC—making access-control bypass the dominant attack surface. He suspects several hacked AI infrastructure companies were breached via authz bypasses. The tool reads single-page-app JavaScript to build full Authz matrices across users, roles and API routes, and found over-privileged low-level roles across 8-10 verticals.
