+
+Why this class dominates: the single most common — and most damaging — failure
+in real systems and in AI-written code is that you log in as one user and see
+another user's data. The login check passes, so the endpoint *feels* protected;
+the per-object ownership/tenant check is the separate line devs and AI omit —
+especially when the object id comes straight from the request. Broken Access
+Control is OWASP Web #1 (A01:2021) and API #1 (BOLA/IDOR), trivially
+scriptable, and a recurring real-world breach class — e.g. First American
+Financial (885M documents exposed via sequential ids with no ownership check).
+
+### Non-optional controls (every data-returning surface)
+
+- **Server-derived principal.** Ownership/tenant derived from the session/token, **never** from a request header/param/body the caller controls. A matching id in the request is not authorization.
+- **Ownership/tenant check on every request id** before returning data. `findById(params.id)` with no `where owner/tenant = currentPrincipal` is the canonical bug.
+- **Tenant-scoped by construction.** Every query on a tenant table carries the tenant predicate; prefer a base scope that injects it so a forgotten clause can't leak. (DSGVO: Mandantentrennung / Trennungskontrolle is a required TOM — a missing `tenant_id` filter is a compliance failure, not just a bug.)
+- **Response minimization.** Return only entitled fields — no `SELECT *` / full-object serialization leaking PII "because the model has it" (Art. 25(2)).
+- **Property-level authz (BOPLA / mass assignment).** Reject `role` / `user_id` / `tenant_id` / `is_admin` from the request body; explicit field allow-list, never whole-body binding.
+- **Role/field-level output filtering (vertical BOPLA).** *Which* fields a principal receives depends on role + business rules — a driver role must not receive `price`; an office role must not receive the boss's `offer`. Serialize via a **role-scoped output DTO**, never the raw model / `to_json()`; sensitive fields (`price`/`cost`/`margin`/`salary`/`discount`/`offer`/internal notes) default-deny per role.
+- **No guessable public ids** on sensitive resources — UUID/ULID, not sequential integers (turns one bug into full-DB enumeration).
+
+### Role-based field-level access — both directions (vertical BOPLA + BFLA)
+
+Object-ownership (above) is *horizontal* (may this principal touch this record). This is *vertical*: which **fields** and which **functions** a role may reach — the maintainer's case (driver ≠ price, office worker ≠ boss's offer). Depends on role + business rules, and **the server is the only boundary** — the frontend hiding a field does not protect it: the raw JSON on the wire is readable via `curl`/DevTools/a proxy (3Fun leak: a privacy toggle filtered only in the app; the server returned every user's location to a direct query).
+
+- **Read side (CWE-213 / Excessive Data Exposure).** Build the response from a **role-scoped output DTO** — never serialize the ORM model directly. Sensitive fields default-deny per role. A client `?fields=` selection is ergonomics, not authorization — intersect it server-side with the role's read-allowlist.
+- **Write side (CWE-915).** Bind input through a **role-scoped write-allowlist** — never the raw body. Read-allowed ≠ write-allowed: a role may *see* `status` but not *set* `status:"approved"`; two independent sets.
+- **Function level (BFLA, OWASP API #5).** A role must not reach a function/verb reserved for a higher role. Gate **every mutating verb** (POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE), deny-by-default — not just the GET you were asked about. The admin button being hidden is not a control.
+- **Nested / GraphQL.** Field-level checks propagate to nested selections; a low-role token selecting a restricted field gets null/error, not data.
+- **Negative tests, per (role × sensitive field), both directions:** lower-role token → the field is **absent from the raw response body** (assert the body, not the UI); lower-role setting it on input → rejected/ignored, **verified by re-reading the persisted record**; every privileged verb → 403 for lower roles (403/404 on sensitive object reads).
+
+### Defense-in-depth (so one miss can't leak)
+
+Stack ≥2 independent layers on sensitive data — query-level ownership scoping, a centralized default-deny policy layer (a route with no policy is denied, not silently open), and DB row-level security as the backstop for a forgotten `WHERE tenant_id`. (Merged with the pre-existing Gotcha bullet "Defense-in-depth so one miss can't leak" below — that bullet carries the concrete RLS configuration and is the stronger, operative statement.)
+
+### GDPR / DSGVO — data protection by design
+
+A cross-user data leak violates **Art. 5(1)(f)** (integrity & confidentiality — a principle → higher fine tier), **Art. 25** (by design/default: default-deny + least privilege + response minimization), and **Art. 32** — which also **mandates a process for regularly testing effectiveness** of these controls (untested authz is a direct Art. 32 gap; hence the three negative tests are non-optional). A discovered live exposure is a **notifiable breach** (Art. 33, 72 h from discovery) — surface as "notify + remediate", never a silent patch. Data-protection context, not legal advice → [`privacy-review`](../privacy-review/SKILL.md), `domain-safety-pii`.
+
+### Backstop greps (authoring-time)
+
+```bash
+# Record fetched by request id with no owner/tenant predicate nearby (high-noise — a hit means read the line, not auto-fix)
+rg -n '(findById|find|findOne|get)\(\s*(req\.|request\.|params\.|\$request|\$id)'
+# Client-supplied tenant/user hint used as the scope (should come from the session)
+rg -n '(tenant|tenantId|user_id|userId)\s*=\s*(req|request|params|headers|query)\.'
+```
+
+The full authoring-time grep set (mass-assignment, raw-serialization, secrets) lives once in [`ai-code-blindspots`](../ai-code-blindspots/SKILL.md).
+
+A hit means read that line — is the ownership/tenant check present? Some are safe (already scoped); none should ship unchecked.
