In this whitepaper

APIs tend to expose endpoints that handle object identifiers, creating a wide attack surface Level Access Control issue. Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA) checks should be considered in every function that accesses a data source using input from the user.

This whitepaper examines:

the causes of BOLA API risks
the difficulty in detecting and fixing BOLA risks
recommendations for securing APIs
