Static Detection of Access Control Vulnerabilities in Web Applications

Access control rules are application-specific, so written specifications to check them against rarely exist. This static analysis infers the accesses implicit in the source instead, building a sitemap per role, comparing them to identify privileged pages, and testing whether forced browsing to each succeeds. On real-world applications it found both known and new flaws with few false positives.
