LAB 356 – Defending Python APIs from Broken Object Level Authorization (NEW)

Course Overview

In this hands-on lab, learners will test for and identify Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) vulnerabilities and implement effective mitigation strategies. A Broken Object Level Authorization vulnerability occurs when an API fails to enforce proper authorization on exposed objects, allowing unauthorized users to access or manipulate sensitive data.

The primary solution is to enforce strong, consistent authorization controls across all API endpoints. Through this Skill Lab, developers will work with a vulnerable application in a virtual environment, gaining practical experience in identifying, exploiting, and remediating BOLA vulnerabilities to enhance API security.
