Insecure direct object access

Insecure direct object access: Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) occur when an application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authorization and access resources within the system by manipulating reference values. IDOR can lead to unauthorized data exposure, data modification, or execution of operations with objects such […]
