If you have a paid Auth0 subscription, you may conduct a security test of your application involving Auth0 infrastructure (e.g. your-tenant.auth0.com) with prior approval.

​
Submit penetration testing request

To conduct a security test, please notify us in advance via the Support Center. Auth0 requires at least 7 days notice prior to your test’s planned start date. If the test is isolated to your infrastructure (that is, there will be no testing of Auth0 services), you do not need to notify Auth0.

​
Information required

Please provide the following information in the support ticket when requesting approval for testing:
  • The specific dates/times of the test and timezone. Tests are not allowed during a change freeze period. To learn more, read the change freeze penetration testing policy below.
  • Scope and purpose of the test
  • IP address(es) the test will come from
  • Tooling that is planned to be used
  • Request per second (the test must be conformant with the Rate Limit Policy)
  • The Auth0 tenant(s) involved
  • Two contacts - phone number and email -  who will be available during the entire test period in case we need to contact you. If we have any questions, we will make a reasonable attempt to contact you. If you cannot be reached, we reserve the right to take measures to protect the service, which may include shutting down or blocking your tenant and/or the source of the intrusion traffic.
