In the realm of cybersecurity, the IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) vulnerability stands out as one of the most common and potentially damaging issues. IDOR vulnerabilities can expose sensitive data and compromise the integrity of web applications, making them a prime target for both cybercriminals and ethical hackers participating in bug bounty programs. This blog post delves into the intricacies of IDOR vulnerabilities, their impact, and how they are addressed through bug bounty programs.

What is an IDOR Vulnerability?

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) is a type of vulnerability that occurs when an application exposes internal objects (e.g., files, directories, database records) without proper authorization checks. Essentially, IDOR vulnerabilities allow attackers to manipulate object references to access unauthorized data or perform actions on behalf of other users.
