⚙️ 10. — URL-based Access Control Can Be Circumvented — X -Original-URL

1. 1Test if a URL is blocked by a front-end system using a plain GET request
2. 2Send a GET request with a modified X-Original-URL header to probe the back-end
3. 3Verify if the back-end reads the X-Original-URL header by checking the response
4. 4Attempt to bypass access control by setting the X-Original-URL header to a restricted URL
5. 5Analyze the response to determine if the vulnerability can be exploited

Security engineers and penetration testers can use this knowledge to identify and exploit URL-based access control vulnerabilities in web applications, while developers can learn how to prevent such vulnerabilities

💡 The X-Original-URL header can be used to bypass URL-based access control in web applications
