Username Hash Found in WebSocket message

  • Risk:

  • Informational

  • Type:
  • WebSocket Passive
Summary

A Example hash of {Example / context: Example} was found in incoming WebSocket message. This may indicate that the application is subject to an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability. Manual testing will be required to see if this discovery can be abused.

Solution

Use per user or session indirect object references (create a temporary mapping at time of use). Or, ensure that each use of a direct object reference is tied to an authorization check to ensure the user is authorized for the requested object.
