Why we picked it This is the number one web security risk, and it is exactly your question: users reaching data they should not. OWASP is the reference the whole industry uses, and this page names the concrete failures (enforcing access on the page instead of the record, trusting an ID in the URL) in plain terms. Understanding the category helps you spot it in any tool, not just Bubble.

A01 Broken Access Control (OWASP Top 10)

From OWASP by OWASP Foundation

  • Broken access control has been the top web risk for years
  • Enforce permissions on the server for every request, not per page

Why we picked it IDOR is the everyday version of the danger in one sentence: change the id in a URL or request from 1042 to 1043 and read someone else's record. This page defines it and shows why the fix is an ownership check on the server, not an unguessable id. Once you see it, you will test your own app by changing numbers in requests.

Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)

From OWASP by OWASP Foundation

  • Editing an id in a request can return another user's data
  • The fix is checking ownership on the server, not hiding the id
  • Random or long ids are not a substitute for an access check
