Web application security testing with AIPTxBroken access control is consistently among the most common serious flaw classes in web applications, and it is the one most testing misses, because finding it requires holding two identities at once and comparing what each can reach.
This checklist covers the role combinations worth testing, the cross-access attempts to make against each resource type, what a failure actually looks like in a response, and the cases most teams skip. Usable with any tooling.
