Signals worth alerting on
- • Authz mismatch between identities for the same path.
- • New route returning sensitive data with weak cache controls.
- • Redirect behavior changed in auth or callback flows.
- • Verbose backend errors after deployment.
Use case
Post-deploy security regression checks
Deploy events frequently introduce new endpoints, role behavior changes, and cache or routing drift. Run scoped checks right after deploy so regressions are caught before reports or incidents escalate.
Recommended run sequence
- Pull changed routes and prioritize affected assets.
- Run auth-required and unauthenticated diffs on key endpoints.
- Check redirects, cookie flags, cache behavior, and error responses.
- Export evidence and mark findings as reproducible or fixed.
Operational guardrails
- • Keep explicit in-scope and out-of-scope patterns per project.
- • Use conservative defaults for rate and run duration limits.
- • Require authorization confirmations for each trigger path.
- • Keep findings tied to raw artifacts for clean retesting.
