Ensuring Trust Through Correct Authorisation: A Comprehensive Examination of CWE-863

by

CWE-863: Incorrect Authorisation occurs when an application fails to enforce correct authorisation measures, allowing unauthorised users or processes to access resources, perform operations, or retrieve data that should be off-limits. It is sometimes conflated with authentication flaws, but the essence of CWE-863 lies in improper or missing checks that would otherwise confirm if a user has the necessary permissions to perform a specific action.
From a technical standpoint, one might imagine an application employing robust identity verification (authentication) only to overlook critical checks about what a user is allowed to do once logged in (authorisation). This oversight can be the gateway to data leaks, privilege escalation, or even sabotage of core business processes.

The OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks – 2023: API8:2023 – Security Misconfiguration

by

At its core, **security misconfiguration** occurs when the security settings of an API or its supporting systems are improperly configured or left at their default settings. APIs often rely on a wide range of underlying infrastructure, including web servers, databases, cloud services, and identity management systems. Each of these elements needs to be configured in line with security best practices to ensure the overall security posture of the API.

Misconfigurations can arise at any stage in the API lifecycle, from development to deployment, and they are not limited to a single type of vulnerability. They may involve poorly configured authentication mechanisms, incorrect access control settings, or vulnerabilities in third-party services integrated into the API ecosystem.
