The Node.js Secure Coding Blog

Learn how to secure Node.js applications with OWASP's comprehensive best practices guidelines and practical techniques for authentication, authorization, cryptography, input validation, and more.

Insecure direct object references (IDOR) are an important web application security concept that every developer should understand. IDOR vulnerabilities allow attackers to access unauthorized data and functionality by manipulating object identifiers used in web applications. In this post, I'll explain IDORs and provide examples to help you prevent these issues in your Node.js and JavaScript server-side applications.

North Korean state hackers compromise npm supply chain with malicious packages; crypto thieves exploit Ledger Connect kit library published to npm, stealing $600k before detected; incident highlights risks of uncontrolled open source usage and need for better validation, monitoring of third party code.
