# Security Tests
Test each security boundary where user input affects authorization, rendered output, or query construction. A defect at such a boundary can be difficult to detect because the feature may continue to work.
Write a test for each of these cases:
- **Cross-tenant access.** Request a record of a different tenant, team, or organization. Read `rules/endpoint-tests.md` for why the response should be `404` rather than `403`.
- **Each unprivileged role.** Use a data provider over the roles that the endpoint must refuse.
- **Escaping user-provided content.** Test escaping in HTML and mail. Include names and every free-text field a template renders. Assert that dangerous characters are escaped and the raw value is absent. Do not assert an exact entity for a quote, because Markdown and mail CSS inliners may decode it.
- **Injection into dynamic query components.** Examples include sort columns, filter fields, and sort directions.
- **An unexpected key** in a payload or configuration array. A merge that accepts every key can set an attribute the user must not control.
```php
public function test_escapes_dangerous_content_in_the_notification(): void
{
$organization = Organization::factory()->make([
'name' => "O'Reilly <script>alert('xss')</script>",
]);
$content = (new QuotaApproaching($organization, 80))->toMail()->render();
$this->assertStringContainsString('<script>', $content);
$this->assertStringNotContainsString("<script>alert('xss')</script>", $content);
}
```
Laravel provides defenses against mass assignment, unauthorized access, and unescaped output. Test that the application applies the appropriate defense to each attribute, route, and template.
