Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a web application test you log in as a standard user and notice the profile page URL ends with id=1042. Manually changing the id parameter to 1041 returns another customer's profile without triggering any authorization error. Which access-control weakness is being exploited in this situation?

  • SQL injection caused by unsanitized numeric parameters

  • Session fixation through predictable session identifiers

  • Insecure Direct Object Reference that allows horizontal privilege escalation

  • Cross-Site Request Forgery that forces unauthorized requests
