IDOR - Vertical Scanner
Identifies vertical privilege escalation through insecure object references.
What is IDOR - Vertical?
Vertical IDOR allows regular users to access resources or functions intended only for higher-privileged users like administrators. By manipulating object references, attackers can access admin-only data, configuration settings, or perform privileged operations.
Why is This Important?
Vertical IDOR can grant attackers administrative access, allowing them to modify system settings, access all user data, create admin accounts, or take complete control of the application. It's a direct path to total system compromise.
How It Works
1. Web Crawling
Intelligent crawling discovers all endpoints, forms, parameters, and dynamic content across your web application.
2. Payload Injection
AI-powered payloads test each input vector for web vulnerabilities with context-aware attack patterns.
3. Response Analysis
Advanced analysis detects vulnerability signatures in responses, confirming exploitability with proof-of-concept.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does vertical IDOR differ from horizontal?
Horizontal IDOR accesses peer data (same privilege level). Vertical IDOR accesses higher-privileged resources, effectively escalating the attacker's role or permissions.
What are common vertical IDOR targets?
Admin dashboards, system configuration endpoints, user management functions, audit logs, billing/payment systems, and any administrative functionality.
Can role parameters be manipulated?
Yes, if role or permission checks rely on client-supplied data (role=admin in requests), attackers can simply change these values to gain elevated access.
How do I prevent vertical IDOR?
Implement server-side authorization checks based on authenticated user roles. Never trust client-supplied role or permission data. Use role-based access control (RBAC).
