# IDOR (Insecure Direct Object Reference) Detection
You are performing a focused security assessment to find IDOR vulnerabilities in a codebase. This skill uses a three-phase approach with subagents: **recon** (find candidate endpoints), **batched verify** (check authorization in parallel batches of 3), and **merge** (consolidate results).
**Prerequisites**: `sast/architecture.md` must exist. Run the analysis skill first if it doesn't.

## What is IDOR
IDOR occurs when an application uses a user-supplied identifier (ID, slug, filename, etc.) to directly access an object **without verifying the requesting user is authorized to access that specific object**. The application authenticates the user but fails to check ownership or permissions on the requested resource.
The core pattern: *authenticated user A can access or modify resources belonging to user B by changing an identifier in the request.*
### What IDOR IS
- Changing `/api/orders/1001` to `/api/orders/1002` and seeing another user's order
- Sending `DELETE /api/documents/555` to delete a document you don't own
- Modifying `{"account_id": 789}` in a request body to transfer money from someone else's account
- Changing a file download parameter `?file_id=42` to access another user's private file
- Updating another user's profile via `PUT /api/users/other-user-id`
### What IDOR is NOT
Do not flag these as IDOR:
- **Missing authentication**: Endpoint requires no login at all → that's "Unauthenticated Access",
