Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA): How Attackers Exploit Object IDs to Access Unauthorized Data

Introduction In today’s digital landscape, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) play a crucial role in enabling seamless communication between different software systems. However, with the increasing reliance on APIs, security vulnerabilities have also surged. One of the most critical and commonly exploited API vulnerabilities is Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA). BOLA occurs when an attacker manipulates object

CRIME & BREACH Attacks – Compression Side-Channel Attacks on HTTPS

Introduction: The Hidden Danger in Encrypted Connections In an era where HTTPS encryption is considered the gold standard for secure web communications, few realize that even encrypted connections can leak sensitive data through subtle side-channel attacks. Two of the most insidious threats in this category are the CRIME (Compression Ratio Info-leak Made Easy) and BREACH (Browser Reconnaissance and
