IDOR-Forge v2.0 Release: Enhanced Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) Detection Framework
Release Date: September 25, 2025
Repository: errorfiathck/IDOR-Forge
Tag: v2.0
Commit Hash: dc80986 (post-enhancement)

Overview
IDOR-Forge v2.0 represents a paradigm shift in automated vulnerability assessment for Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR), transitioning from rudimentary parameter fuzzing to a robust, context-aware scanning paradigm. This iteration addresses core limitations in contextual privilege escalation detection, response differential analysis, payload mutation heuristics, and evasion resilience, leveraging OWASP-compliant cheat sheets for injection primitives and adaptive similarity metrics for false positive mitigation. The framework now supports multi-tenant authentication workflows, GraphQL introspection-aware fuzzing, and noise-resilient response hashing via SHA-256 canonicalization, elevating its efficacy in red-team engagements against modern RESTful and GraphQL APIs.
Key advancements include:
- Horizontal/Vertical Privilege Escalation Simulation: Multi-session orchestration with role-based credential payloads (e.g., low-priv vs. high-priv JWT bearers) to emulate token-swapping attacks, reducing false negatives in access control bypass scenarios.
- Adaptive Response Differential Analysis: Tunable Levenshtein-normalized SequenceMatcher ratios with variance-adjusted thresholds (e.g., 0.8-0.9 Jaccard index for JSON structural isomorphism), incorporating regex-based noise excision (e.g., ISO 8601 timestamp normalization).
- Expanded Payload Mutation Arsenal: Integration of OWASP ZAP-derived fuzzing vectors, including URL-encoded UUID inversions, Base64-obfuscated numeric ranges, and polymorphic injection primitives (e.g., blind time-based SQLi with relative latency thresholding >1.5x baseline RTT).
- Injection Heuristic Refinements: Database-agnostic error footprinting (e.g., ORA-01756 for Oracle, Msg 102 for MSSQL) with union-based column enumeration via comma-delimited response entropy spikes; context-sensitive XSS reflection via attribute/JS sink detection (e.g.,
on\w+=regex); and OOB XXE validation through entity expansion artifacts (e.g.,/etc/passwdfootprinting). - Authentication State Machine Enhancements: OAuth/JWT bearer token extraction with MFA challenge-response hooks, ensuring session affinity across multi-actor simulations without CSRF token pollution.
- API Abstraction Layer: Polymorphic request serialization (query-string, JSON-RPC, GraphQL mutation/query introspection) with path-parameter auto-extraction (e.g.,
/users/{id}regex parsing). - Evasion and Resilience Primitives: Exponential backoff with Gaussian jitter (0.5-1.5x delay), UA rotation from a 10-vector browser fingerprint corpus, and dummy-parameter salting to circumvent WAF rate-limiting (e.g., 429 anomaly detection).
- Robustness and Observability: Granular exception surfacing (e.g., ValueError for URL scheme validation), PII regex augmentation (e.g., SSN/DoD 5220.22-M patterns), and extensible logging via Python's
loggingfacade with StreamHandler integration.

Known Limitations & Future Vectors
- Non-Adaptive Fuzzing: Still relies on static ranges; future: ML-driven payload evolution via genetic algorithms.
- No CSP Compliance: XSS detection ignores Content-Security-Policy nonce validation; planned: Header-aware sink analysis.
- Single-Endpoint Focus: Lacks crawler integration for endpoint discovery; roadmap: Burp Suite extension hooks.
- Performance: Multi-session scaling caps at 10 workers; optimize with asyncio coroutines.
This release marks IDOR-Forge's maturation into a production-grade pentest auxiliary, with 62 stars and 13 forks on GitHub as of v1.3 baseline. Contributions welcome via PRs for advanced heuristics (e.g., taint-tracking emulation). Built with ❤️ by ErrorFiat—ethical use only.
