Build-an-X for session management tests per OWASP ASVS V3 - cookie attribute coverage (Secure / HttpOnly / SameSite=Strict|Lax), session-fixation defense (regenerate session ID on login), absolute + idle timeout, concurrent-session limits, logout invalidation across devices, CSRF token handling, session-binding to TLS / IP / device fingerprint. Use when authoring tests for any web app's session layer, regardless of framework (Express session, Django sessions, Spring Security, ASP.NET, Rails…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# session-management-test-author ## Overview This build-an-X workflow authors tests for the session layer against [OWASP ASVS V3 (Session Management)][asvs]: cookie attributes, timeout behavior, session-ID regeneration, and logout semantics. Cite requirements in the versioned form `v<version>-<chapter>.<section>.<requirement>` (e.g., `v5.0.0-1.2.5`) so assertions stay stable across releases. [asvs]: https://owasp.org/www-project-application-security-verification-standard/ ## When to use - Authoring tests for any web app with sessions (cookie-based or token-based). - Reviewing PRs that touch login / logout / session middleware. - A security audit cites ASVS V3 as a target. - Compliance program (SOC 2, ISO 27001) requires evidence of session-management testing. ## Step 1 - Cookie attribute baseline Every session cookie MUST set: | Attribute | Required value | Why | |---|---|---| | `Secure` | true (in production) | Prevents transmission over plaintext HTTP | | `HttpOnly` | true | Prevents JavaScript access (XSS impact reduction) | | `SameSite` | `Strict` or `Lax` | CSRF defense | | `Path` | scope to app root or narrower | Limits cookie exposure | …

How to install
mdr add testland/qa/session-management-test-author@sha256:b4610a470b154284The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.1bce424, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
