API Security Weekly: Issue #102

This week, we look into the recent API vulnerabilities at Facebook and the campaing apps for US presidential election, a new book on the OpenAPI Specification (OAS), and a guest post by API security trainer Mohammed Aldoub on how to build APIs that are easy to defend against attackers.

Vulnerability: Facebook

Marcos Ferreira found a Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA/IDOR) vulnerability in Facebook’s GraphQL API. The vulnerability allowed anyone to change the URL of a Facebook Page (so not your Facebook profile or user account), and then take over the old URL.
