Course Description

This lab challenges a learner to discover and exploit an existing API vulnerability to bypass authorization mechanisms and steal private files in a cloud application.

Participants will also learn best practices to prevent and mitigate broken object-level authorization vulnerabilities related to insecure APIs.
