PortSwigger Broken Access Control Lab Solution 🔥 | Step-by-Step Exploit (Beginner to Pro)
In this video, I have demonstrated a complete step-by-step solution for a PortSwigger Web Security Academy lab based on Broken Access Control vulnerability, which is one of the most critical vulnerabilities listed in OWASP Top 10.
Access Control vulnerabilities occur when an application fails to properly restrict users from accessing unauthorized data or functionality. This can lead to serious security issues such as data leakage, privilege escalation, and complete account takeover.
In this practical walkthrough, you will learn:
What is Access Control Vulnerability in simple terms
Difference between Authentication and Authorization
Types of Access Control (Horizontal & Vertical Privilege Escalation)
How attackers bypass access restrictions
Step-by-step exploitation of the lab
Real-world impact of broken access control vulnerabilities
How to identify such issues during VAPT or Bug Bounty testing
I have used Burp Suite to intercept and modify requests to exploit this vulnerability in a real-world scenario. This is exactly how ethical hackers and bug bounty hunters find vulnerabilities in live applications.
This video is highly useful for:
Beginners in Cyber Security
Bug Bounty Hunters
CEH Students
VAPT Learners
Anyone interested in Web Application Security
Tools Used:
Burp Suite
Web Browser
PortSwigger Lab Environment
Why this matters:
Broken Access Control is one of the most commonly found vulnerabilities in real-world applications. Many companies pay high rewards for finding such bugs in bug bounty programs.
If you are serious about becoming a cyber security expert or ethical hacker, mastering these concepts is very important.
Make sure to practice these labs yourself to gain hands-on experience.
