11
-
12
- ---
13
-
14
- ## Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)
15
-
16
- IDOR occurs when an application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input without authorization checks.
17
-
18
- ```typescript
19
- // VULNERABLE: Trusting the requested ID blindly
20
- app.get("/api/receipts/:id", async (req, res) => {
21
- const receipt = await db.receipts.findById(req.params.id);
22
- res.json(receipt); // Attack: Increment ID to view others' receipts
23
- });
24
-
25
- // ✅ SAFE: Verifying ownership
26
- app.get("/api/receipts/:id", async (req, res) => {
27
- const receipt = await db.receipts.findById(req.params.id);
28
- if (!receipt) return res.status(404).send();
29
-
30
- // Explicit tenancy check
31
- if (receipt.userId !== req.user.id && req.user.role !== "admin") {
32
- return res.status(403).json({ error: "Access denied" });
33
- }
34
-
35
- res.json(receipt);
36
- });
37
-
38
- // ✅ BEST: Using UUIDv4/CUID/NanoID instead of sequential integers
39
- // Attackers cannot guess standard UUIDs, heavily mitigating IDOR risks.
40
- ```
41
-
42
- ---
43
-
44
- ## Mass Assignment (Overposting)
45
-
46
- Occurs when web frameworks automatically bind HTTP request parameters to application models without filtering.
47
-
48
- ```typescript
49
- // VULNERABLE: Direct object binding
50
- app.put("/api/users/:id", async (req, res) => {
51
- // Attack: req.body = { name: "Bob", role: "admin", isPaid: true }
52
- await db.users.update({ id: req.params.id }, req.body);
53
- res.send("Updated");
54
- });
55
-
56
- // ✅ SAFE: Explicit property selection (DTOs)
57
- app.put("/api/users/:id", async (req, res) => {
58
- // Only extract explicitly allowed fields
59
- const { name, email, bio } = req.body;
60
- const safeData = { name, email, bio };
61
-
62
- await db.users.update({ id: req.params.id }, safeData);
63
- res.send("Updated");
64
- });
65
-
66
- // ✅ BEST: Validation libraries (Zod, Joi) handling stripping
67
- const UpdateUserSchema = z.object({
68
- name: z.string().min(2),
69
- email: z.string().email(),
70
- }).strict(); // `.strict()` throws if "role" or "isPaid" is passed
71
- ```
72
-
73
- ---
74
-
75
- ## Rate Limiting Architecture
76
-
77
- ```typescript
78
- // Basic Rate Limiting (Express)
79
- import rateLimit from "express-rate-limit";
80
- import RedisStore from "rate-limit-redis";
81
-
82
- // Global baseline limit
83
- export const globalLimiter = rateLimit({
84
- store: new RedisStore({ client: redisClient }),
85
- windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 min
86
- max: 100, // Limit each IP to 100 reqs per window
87
- standardHeaders: true, // Return rate limit info in the `RateLimit-*` headers
88
- });
89
-
90
- // Aggressive endpoint-specific limit (Login, Password Reset)
91
- export const authLimiter = rateLimit({
92
- store: new RedisStore({ client: redisClient }),
93
- windowMs: 60 * 60 * 1000, // 1 Hour
94
- max: 5, // 5 login attempts per IP per hour
95
- message: "Too many login attempts, please try again later"
96
- });
97
-
98
- // HALLUCINATION TRAP: In-memory rate limiting across multiple server pods
99
- // If you use basic memory stores in a load-balanced environment (K8s, ECS),
100
- // an attacker has `limit * num_pods` attempts. Always use a centralized store (Redis).
101
- ```
102
-

105
- ## API Key Management
106
-
107
- ```
108
- Best Practices for issuance and storage:
109
- 1. Format: Prefix keys to identify them and allow secret scanners to find them easily.
110
- - Example: `pk_live_8a9b...` (Stripe pattern).
111
- 2. Storage: NEVER store plaintext API keys in the DB.
112
- - Hash them using SHA-256 (not bcrypt, because API keys are high entropy/long).
113
- - Only show the user the plaintext key ONCE upon creation.
114
- 3. Transport: API keys must only be accepted via Headers, never in Query Params.
115
- - `Authorization: Bearer pk_live_123`
116
- - Query params are logged in server access logs and browser histories.
117
- ```

- ## GraphQL Security Vectors
122
-
123
- ```typescript

14
+
15
+ ---
16
+
17
+ ## Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)
18
+
19
+ IDOR occurs when an application provides direct access to objects based on user-supplied input without authorization checks.
20
+
21
+ ```typescript
22
+ // ❌ VULNERABLE: Trusting the requested ID blindly
23
+ app.get("/api/receipts/:id", async (req, res) => {
24
+ const receipt = await db.receipts.findById(req.params.id);
25
+ res.json(receipt); // Attack: Increment ID to view others' receipts
26
+ });
27
+
28
+ // SAFE: Verifying ownership
29
+ app.get("/api/receipts/:id", async (req, res) => {
30
+ const receipt = await db.receipts.findById(req.params.id);
31
+ if (!receipt) return res.status(404).send();
32
+
33
+ // Explicit tenancy check
34
+ if (receipt.userId !== req.user.id && req.user.role !== "admin") {
35
+ return res.status(403).json({ error: "Access denied" });
36
+ }
37
+
38
+ res.json(receipt);
39
+ });
40
+
41
+ // ✅ BEST: Using UUIDv4/CUID/NanoID instead of sequential integers
42
+ // Attackers cannot guess standard UUIDs, heavily mitigating IDOR risks.
43
+ ```
44
+
45
+ ---
46
+
47
+ ## Mass Assignment (Overposting)
48
+
49
+ Occurs when web frameworks automatically bind HTTP request parameters to application models without filtering.
50
+
51
+ ```typescript
52
+ // VULNERABLE: Direct object binding
53
+ app.put("/api/users/:id", async (req, res) => {
54
+ // Attack: req.body = { name: "Bob", role: "admin", isPaid: true }
55
+ await db.users.update({ id: req.params.id }, req.body);
56
+ res.send("Updated");
57
+ });
58
+
59
+ // SAFE: Explicit property selection (DTOs)
60
+ app.put("/api/users/:id", async (req, res) => {
61
+ // Only extract explicitly allowed fields
62
+ const { name, email, bio } = req.body;
63
+ const safeData = { name, email, bio };
64
+
65
+ await db.users.update({ id: req.params.id }, safeData);
66
+ res.send("Updated");
67
+ });
68
+
69
+ // ✅ BEST: Validation libraries (Zod, Joi) handling stripping
70
+ const UpdateUserSchema = z
71
+ .object({
72
+ name: z.string().min(2),
73
+ email: z.string().email(),
74
+ })
75
+ .strict(); // `.strict()` throws if "role" or "isPaid" is passed
76
+ ```
77
+
78
+ ---
79
+
80
+ ## Rate Limiting Architecture
81
+
82
+ ```typescript
83
+ // Basic Rate Limiting (Express)
84
+ import rateLimit from "express-rate-limit";
85
+ import RedisStore from "rate-limit-redis";
86
+
87
+ // Global baseline limit
88
+ export const globalLimiter = rateLimit({
89
+ store: new RedisStore({ client: redisClient }),
90
+ windowMs: 15 * 60 * 1000, // 15 min
91
+ max: 100, // Limit each IP to 100 reqs per window
92
+ standardHeaders: true, // Return rate limit info in the `RateLimit-*` headers
93
+ });
94
+
95
+ // Aggressive endpoint-specific limit (Login, Password Reset)
96
+ export const authLimiter = rateLimit({
97
+ store: new RedisStore({ client: redisClient }),
98
+ windowMs: 60 * 60 * 1000, // 1 Hour
99
+ max: 5, // 5 login attempts per IP per hour
100
+ message: "Too many login attempts, please try again later",
101
+ });
102
+
103
+ // ❌ HALLUCINATION TRAP: In-memory rate limiting across multiple server pods
104
+ // If you use basic memory stores in a load-balanced environment (K8s, ECS),
105
+ // an attacker has `limit * num_pods` attempts. Always use a centralized store (Redis).
106
+ ```
107
+
108
+ ---
109
+
110
+ ## API Key Management
111
+
112
+ ```
113
+ Best Practices for issuance and storage:
114
+ 1. Format: Prefix keys to identify them and allow secret scanners to find them easily.
115
+ - Example: `pk_live_8a9b...` (Stripe pattern).
116
+ 2. Storage: NEVER store plaintext API keys in the DB.
117
+ - Hash them using SHA-256 (not bcrypt, because API keys are high entropy/long).
118
+ - Only show the user the plaintext key ONCE upon creation.
119
+ 3. Transport: API keys must only be accepted via Headers, never in Query Params.
120
+ - `Authorization: Bearer pk_live_123`
121
+ - Query params are logged in server access logs and browser histories.
122
+ ```
123
+

125
+
126
+ ## GraphQL Security Vectors
127
+
128
+ ```typescript
129
+ // GraphQL introduces unique DoS vectors not found in REST
130
+
131
+ // 1. Query Depth Limiting (Prevent nested joins crushing the DB)
132
+ // User -> Posts -> Comments -> Author -> Posts -> Comments...
133
+ import depthLimit from "graphql-depth-limit";
134
+ app.use("/graphql", graphqlHTTP({ validationRules: [depthLimit(5)] }));
135
+
136
+ // 2. Query Cost Analysis
137
+ // Prevent attackers from requesting 100,000 items in a single query
138
+ // Implement cursor pagination and enforce `first: 100` limits.
139
+
140
+ // 3. Introspection Disabled in Production
141
+ // Introspection allows attackers to download your entire schema.
142
+ const server = new ApolloServer({
143
+ schema,
144

145
