IDOR/BOLA tops the OWASP API Security Top 10 for good reason—attackers target object IDs to steal or manipulate data.
Web Application Firewalls and check-the-box compliance can’t catch logic-driven gaps.
Data breaches via BOLA can expose PII, financial records, or internal business logic.
Compliance does not prevent attacks. Treat security as a strategic program, not a checkbox.
Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), often called IDOR, happens when an API fails to validate whether a user is allowed to access—or modify—a specific object by its ID.
Example Attack: Changing /orders/12345
to /orders/12346
returns someone else’s invoice.
Impact: Unauthorized data exposure, tampering, or deletion.
Multi-Tenant SaaS: Tenant A accesses Tenant B’s records by iterating numeric IDs.
Mobile Backends: A stolen token plus a tweaked endpoint reveals other users’ profiles.
IoT Management APIs: Attackers reprogram devices by guessing device IDs.
Empower developers, uncover real risk, and automate what matters. Aptori’s AI Security Engineer uses semantic reasoning to model your APIs, generate targeted abuse-case tests, and run them continuously in CI/CD—detecting and remediating IDOR, BOLA, RBAC/ABAC and other vulnerabilities in real time while ensuring compliance (PCI DSS 4.0, HIPAA, NIST).
Ingest OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman collections, or direct endpoint lists
Build a semantic graph of every resource, data flow, and auth rule
Thousands of custom test cases for RBAC, ABAC, multi-user interactions
Cover OWASP API Top 10, CVEs, plus bespoke business-logic attacks
Integrate into IDE, CLI (sift
) or CI/CD (GitHub, GitLab, Jenkins)
Run tests pre-merge or on every build, with zero false positives
AI-driven triage surfaces only exploitable BOLA flaws
One-click fixes pushed back into your Git workflow
A call to arms for CISOs: Stop chasing audits—embed end-to-end, automated API security testing throughout your SDLC to deliver fast, secure, and compliant product releases.
Find and fix BOLA in development, not post-production.
Automated fixes free your team for real innovation.
Aligns with PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA—without extra audit headaches
SMART (Semantic Modeling for Application & API Risk Testing) uses AI to map your entire stack—data flows, control paths, and authentication logic—into a live, stateful model. It then exercises every meaningful path to detect business logic vulnerabilities and runtime misconfigurations.
Finds flaws static and dynamic scanners miss.
Context-aware path selection minimizes false positives
Prioritize based on real exploitability, not just severity.
Proprietary graph-based engine delivers results in real time.
