As mentioned, applications are becoming increasingly more robust, dynamic, and complex in our modern era. Given the increased complexity, it is only natural that vulnerabilities will find their way into our applications. However, as developers, we must ensure we are vigilant against any issues.

This short lesson explored a small application demonstrating a basic example of broken access controls. We’ve done the following:

  • Reviewed our code for potential access control vulnerabilities.
  • Validated the existence of these vulnerabilities via active exploitation.
  • Remediated our code and removed the vulnerability.
