🔥 Ultimate IDOR Testing Checklist 🔥
📌 https://t.co/NcOjwsBrre
IDOR is still one of the most impactful bugs in bug bounty. Many critical findings start by simply changing an ID in a request.
💡 This checklist covers:
✔️ ID & UUID manipulation
✔️ API & version bypasses
✔️ Multi-account testing
✔️ GraphQL & WebSocket
✔️ Race conditions & batch abuse
✔️ Mobile, gRPC & blind IDOR
If you want high-impact bugs, don’t skip this. 🚀

If you use Nuclei for bug bounty or recon, this repo is a goldmine.
Source: https://t.co/R1XkF0B6QV
It aggregates hundreds of public/custom Nuclei template repos in one place:
• CVEs
• SSRF
• SSTI
• XSS
• Takeovers
• WAF detections
• Fuzzing templates
• API checks
• and much more.
A very useful resource for expanding your custom scanning workflow and discovering community templates you probably missed. 🔥

Don’t rush to report.
A UUID IDOR looked informative at first. Dug deeper, found an endpoint leaking valid IDs, chained both, and it became critical.

GraphQL Introspection Misconfiguration to Sensitive Data Exposure
POC →
1. While testing a GraphQL endpoint, noticed introspection queries were enabled in production
2. Sent an introspection query to map the full schema
3. Discovered hidden queries related to internal user and admin data
4. Modified the query to fetch user email, roles, and internal metadata
5. Server returned sensitive data without proper authorization checks
6.This allowed attackers to enumerate users and access restricted information
Learning →
- GraphQL introspection should be disabled in production environments
- Always enforce authorization on every resolver
- Hidden schema endpoints often expose internal business logic

🔍 Testing an application with a GraphQL API?
Learn about common GraphQL vulnerabilities over at the Web Security Academy, and then scan your app with Burp Suite Professional or Burp Suite Enterprise Edition to find GraphQL bugs automatically.

Real bugs. Real reports. Real hacker mindset.
If you're serious about bug bounty, you NEED to study this.

SecLists is a security tester’s best companion.
From usernames and passwords to URLs, payloads, web shells, and sensitive data patterns, it covers almost every recon need.
Use SecLists in your workflow to automate more and find more bugs. 🐞
Bug bounty tip 🔥
Most people stop at subdomain enum… real hunters go further ↓
Take your subs → generate permutations → resolve → profit 💰
Tools you should be using:
• Altdns: https://t.co/1EAylLYiHd
• dnsgen: https://t.co/TWTu9KkDYb
• gotator: https://t.co/R4wIfcUAvp
• shuffledns: https://t.co/0QB8BCS1qm
Pro move 🧠
Use target-specific words (from JS, GitHub, Wayback) instead of generic lists → this is where hidden assets live
Enumeration finds surface.
Permutations find gold. 🔥

The Spring Boot Actuators can expose some sensitive informations like env vars, heap dumps, configs, and internal metrics
And sometimes, with simple bypass tricks we can find them:
actuator/env;..
;/actuator/env
actuator;/env
actuator/env%00
actuator/env;
..;/actuator/env
static../actuator/env
actuator/health/..;/env

I saw this on LinkedIn. The AWASP Top Ten, a "vibe-researched and vibe-coded" alternative to the OWASP Top Ten.
