⚠️ You are viewing another user's profile! (Your ID: 5)
About this vulnerability:
IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) occurs when an application exposes a reference to an internal object (like a database key or filename) without proper authorization checks.
The Problem:
- The application accepts a user ID directly from the URL parameter
- No check is performed to verify if the current user is authorized to view that profile
- Attackers can simply change the ID in the URL to access other users' data
How to fix it:
- Authorization checks: Verify that the authenticated user has permission to access the requested resource
- Obfuscation: Use non-sequential, unguessable identifiers (e.g. UUIDs, ULIDs) instead of sequential integers.
