Insecure direct object referencing (IDOR) describes a class of vulnerability
in a web application that allows attackers to disclose information by brute
forcing references to objects on the web application’s backend. For example, a
web application referencing all users with a simple user ID in the range
0 ... 100
, and allowing GET
requests against arbitrary user IDs, enabling
attackers to exfiltrate user information for an arbitrary number of users. More
