Standard Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) tools are notoriously bad at detecting Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR). Tools like OWASP ZAP or Arachni typically operate on a fuzzing basis—they throw garbage data at inputs and look for crashes or 500 errors. They fail at IDORs because an IDOR is not a syntactic error; it is a logic error. If User A requests User B’s invoice and the server returns a 200 OK with the invoice data, a generic scanner interprets this as a successful, valid request. It lacks the context to know that User A should not have access to that data. Reliance on manual testing (Burp Suite Repeater) for these checks introduces a bottleneck. As you move towards continuous deployment, you need a way to codify "User A accessing User B data" into a regression test that runs on every commit. The Root Cause: Context-Blind Authorization Under the hood, most web frameworks separate Authentication (Who are you?) from Authorizat...
