Exam 312-50v10 topic 1 question 21 discussion

C. "GET /restricted/bank.getaccount("˜Ned') HTTP/1.1 Host: westbank.com" Insecure direct object reference (IDOR) occurs when an application exposes internal object references (such as database keys, filenames, or URLs) without proper authorization or access control checks. Attackers can manipulate these references to access unauthorized resources or perform unauthorized actions. In option C, the request includes a specific method call, "bank.getaccount('Ned')", indicating an attempt to directly access the account information of user Ned. By specifying the name "Ned" directly in the request, the attacker, Rob, is trying to bypass any authorization or access control mechanisms and retrieve the account information for Ned.
