What problem does it solve?
Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerabilities allow attackers to access other users' private data by manipulating resource identifiers in API endpoints, a high-impact, widespread flaw that standard security scans often miss, leading to unauthorized data exposure, financial fraud, or account takeover.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Built from 26 real-world public bug bounty reports, providing field-validated techniques for identifying IDORs across REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and mobile applications.
- Includes full attack surface mapping, step-by-step hunting methodology, bypass techniques for common defenses like UUIDs and indirect object references, and high-impact chain patterns to escalate read-only IDORs to critical-severity findings like account takeover or cross-tenant data exfiltration.
- Use Case: A penetration tester assessing a multi-tenant SaaS billing platform can use this skill to systematically test invoice and user endpoints for IDORs, chain identified flaws to payment modification vulnerabilities, and report a critical-severity finding with demonstrated financial impact.
Quick Start
Use the hunt-idor skill to conduct a full IDOR assessment of your target application's user-owned resource endpoints, including testing for chained state-changing flaws to maximize the severity of identified vulnerabilities.
