Hands-on IDOR Lab in Node.js Teaches Access Control

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created an open-source Node.js lab to demonstrate Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerabilities.

It highlights the difference between authentication and authorization in API security.
