What is Insecure Direct Object Reference?
- Insecure Direct Object Reference is commonly known as IDOR, and it is a permission-based vulnerability that allows an attacker to modify or access resources belonging to other users of the application.
- The Fundamental concept behind the IDOR vulnerability is that an endpoint of the application tries to give access for modifying and accessing the user data. Data may contain images, addresses, and files, and in some cases contain the username and password of a user.
- Nowadays, IDOR is a common and emerging attack vector for web applications because IDOR vulnerability gives access permission and any problem related to permissions cannot be fixed automatically or by default.
Emerging Attack Vectors in Cyber Security
In Cyber Security, knowing about attack vectors is key to keeping information safe and systems secure. An attack vector is a way that cybercriminals use to break into a network, system, or application by taking advantage of weaknesses. Attack vectors refer to the various paths or methods that attackers use to gain unauthorized access to a system, network, or application to exploit vulnerabilities, steal data, or cause damage.
As cyber threats grow more complex, itâs more important than ever to identify and protect against these attack vectors. This article will look at the different types of attack vectors, their effects on cybersecurity, and how to defend against them.
