Hardcoded Firebase API Keys: What Attackers Can Actually Do With Them
Beyond just reading the key — a practical guide to abusing misconfigured Firebase Security Rules to enumerate users, exfiltrate data, and send authenticated requests.
Research, vulnerability analysis, and field notes from our security team.
Race conditions are among the most underappreciated vulnerabilities in web applications. We walk through real-world exploitation techniques using Burp Suite's parallel requests — from coupon abuse to account takeover — and explain why traditional rate limiting doesn't help.
Beyond just reading the key — a practical guide to abusing misconfigured Firebase Security Rules to enumerate users, exfiltrate data, and send authenticated requests.
A walkthrough of how three "low-severity" IAM findings chain together into a complete account compromise — and why your cloud pentester needs to think in attack graphs, not individual findings.
Developers think GUIDs make IDOR impossible. We break down the patterns that still leak predictability — API responses that cross-reference IDs, mass assignment, and leaked references in logs.
How we built a reusable Python tool to automate Firebase security rule testing, unauthenticated API key abuse checks, and database exposure validation during mobile app assessments.
A sanitized case study of a full internal network assessment — initial foothold via LLMNR poisoning, Kerberoasting, lateral movement with CME, and Golden Ticket persistence.
GraphQL's flexibility creates unique security challenges. We cover the full attack surface: introspection enumeration, alias batching for rate-limit bypass, field-level access control gaps, and injection via directives.
