OWASP Top 10 (2021)

A01:2021 - Broken Access Control

Checklist

- [ ] Authorization checks on all protected resources
- [ ] No access control bypass via URL manipulation
- [ ] Proper CORS configuration
- [ ] No insecure direct object references (IDOR)
- [ ] Metadata manipulation prevention
- [ ] JWT tokens validated properly
- [ ] Force browsing protection
- [ ] API access controls enforced

Detection Patterns

// ❌ VIOLATION - No authorization check
app.get('/api/users/:id', authenticateUser, async (req, res) => {
  const user = await User.findById(req.params.id);
  res.json(user);  // Any authenticated user can access any user data
});

// ✅ COMPLIANT - Proper authorization
app.get('/api/users/:id', authenticateUser, async (req, res) => {
  if (req.params.id !== req.user.id && !req.user.isAdmin) {
    return res.status(403).json({ error: 'Forbidden' });
  }
  const user = await User.findById(req.params.id);
  res.json(user);
});
