Use the same platform for sprint gates, release assurance, audit prep, AI product validation, executive risk, and continuous attack-surface monitoring.
Platform detail
Authenticated app pentest
Session macros, role-aware coverage, browser crawling, business logic, and evidence.
Findings, reports, dashboards, exports, integrations, and retests all read from the same normalized record.
Pencheff favors repeatable checks, then uses AI for triage, enrichment, orchestration, and remediation where it adds signal.
Coverage
What does Authenticated app pentest test?
- Session macros, role-aware coverage, browser crawling, business logic, and evidence.
- This page is part of Solutions under Program Workflows.
- It links back into the broader security programs without fragmented tooling experience.
- Workspace-aware target registration, scan ownership, and reusable scope settings.
- Unified finding records across runtime, source, dependency, infrastructure, AI, and manual evidence.
- Severity, reachability, exploitability, confidence, affected asset, and remediation metadata.
- Dashboards for status, risk, open work, rechecks, and audit-ready reporting.
- Exports for executive readers, engineers, compliance teams, and downstream systems.
Execution
How does Pencheff run this?
- Register the target or choose an existing workspace asset.
- Select a profile that controls depth, safety, time budget, and evidence requirements.
- Run deterministic checks first, then enrich high-signal leads with agentic analysis where useful.
- Deduplicate findings, preserve raw evidence, and attach remediation guidance.
- Route the output into dashboards, reports, integrations, schedules, and retest loops.
Evidence
What evidence does this produce?
- Finding title, severity, affected component, CWE or category, confidence, and status.
- Reproduction notes, scanner provenance, request or trace evidence where applicable.
- Remediation guidance written for the observed behavior rather than a generic checklist.
- Compliance mappings, owner state, comments, and re-examination history.
Controls
How is this kept safe to run?
- Authorized testing boundaries remain explicit at target creation.
- Credentials and secrets are handled as scoped assessment inputs.
- Operator-facing output separates confirmed issues from informational context.
- Every item is designed to be traceable from summary to source evidence.

FAQ
Common questions
- What is an authenticated application penetration test?
- An authenticated application penetration test assesses the security of functionality that is only accessible after logging in — including user account operations, payment flows, admin interfaces, and API endpoints that require a valid session token.
- How does Pencheff handle different authentication mechanisms during a pentest?
- Pencheff supports form-based login (username/password), OAuth/OIDC redirect flows, API key authentication, cookie injection, and TOTP-based MFA. It records and replays auth sequences automatically to maintain session validity throughout the test.
- Can Pencheff test for IDOR and privilege escalation in a multi-user application?
- Yes. Pencheff can operate as multiple simultaneous users with different privilege levels — probing whether a low-privilege user can access or modify resources belonging to other users or higher-privilege roles by manipulating object identifiers and access-control parameters.
