Token Theft and Session Replay

This Identity and SSO Security field brief frames Token Theft and Session Replay around the trust boundaries an authorized assessor needs to verify. Use it to plan safe validation, capture reproducible evidence and distinguish a meaningful control failure from an isolated technical symptom.

Why it matters in practice

Within Identity and SSO Security, Token Theft and Session Replay changes how scope, prerequisites and evidence should be handled. Focus on the concrete asset or data flow under test, record the assumptions that make the condition exploitable and connect verified behavior to an operational consequence and remediation decision.

Primary coverage

  • Map which tokens are bearer-like and which are constrained by audience, device or session context.
  • Check whether refresh flows or legacy clients weaken otherwise strong policy boundaries.
  • Watch how session revocation, device compliance and risk-based prompts really behave after theft.
  • Treat browser extensions, local storage, crash dumps and endpoint tooling as token-adjacent surfaces.

Assessment focus

For Token Theft and Session Replay, document the starting condition, tested action, observable result and any constraint that limited validation. Separate what was proven from what remains inferred, then tie each recommendation to the control boundary described in the evidence.
