Application & API Security Research

We study recurring flaws in web applications and APIs, rather than assessing one client's deployment.

The work

What this actually involves

The target determines which methods matter.

  • Authorisation as a class

    Study how frameworks enable broken object-level access control.

  • Authentication and sessions

    Find failures in issuing, renewing, expiring, and revoking sessions.

  • Logic and state machines

    Find flaws in the order of otherwise valid actions.

  • Parsers and protocol edges

    Investigate parsing mismatches, request smuggling, and deserialisation.

  • Client-side boundaries

    Test assumptions about browser and application security boundaries.

  • AI-backed features

    Study failures where models use tools, memory, and untrusted text.
