idor-broken-object-authorization

To test for IDOR and BOLA vulnerabilities, apply an A-B testing methodology across all object ID locations including URL paths, query parameters, headers, and GraphQL arguments to identify unauthorized data access. This systematic workflow ensures comprehensive coverage.

The best way to find BOLA flaws automated scanners miss is using an 8-category testing framework with checklists. This approach systematically uncovers edge cases like indirect reference chains, mass assignment, and state machine abuse across REST and GraphQL endpoints.

HTTP method escalation uncovers insecure direct object reference vulnerabilities by manipulating request methods against object IDs in paths or bodies. Attackers probe whether changing verbs like GET to PUT bypasses authorization, exposing privileged administrative functions.

Yes, you can use systematic IDOR testing workflows for bug bounty hunting on GraphQL services. The methodology covers GraphQL arguments and request bodies to detect unauthorized access to other users' private data through structured vulnerability discovery.

When testing broken object authorization in REST APIs, check edge cases including indirect reference chains, mass assignment flaws, and state machine abuse. Also test parameter pollution across cookies and headers to ensure no IDOR surfaces are overlooked.
