IDOR

Also called: Insecure direct object reference

Insecure Direct Object Reference: reaching another user's data by changing an ID in a URL or request.

Definition

If the server doesn't check that the logged-in user owns the requested object, changing /orders/1042 to /orders/1043 shows someone else's order. Test only with your own test accounts.

In practice

Logged in as test user Anna, you open /invoices/88 and see test user Ben's invoice.
