Can a regular user
access private data?
We test web applications, APIs, and authentication flows by hand, looking for access-control failures, injection, and ways to abuse business logic.
- Who can read or change a record?
- Can a user skip an important workflow step?
- Does the server enforce the same rules as the interface?
A regular user can export private records.
Before: the security gap
A standard user reaches an administrative action directly. Hiding the export button is not an authorization control.
