Account Takeover via IDOR Chains, CSRF in Security Questions Leading to Account Takeover & Privilege Escalation by Token Manipulation

In this episode of Cool Pentest Findings with Quailu, we break down three powerful security flaws that lead to account takeovers and privilege escalation.

🔍 What’s Inside:
✅ Account takeover via IDOR chaining – How combining two IDOR vulnerabilities led to full control over user accounts.
✅ CSRF in security questions leading to account takeover – A simple CSRF flaw that allowed attackers to reset victim passwords.
✅ Privilege escalation by token manipulation – How weak authorization checks enabled attackers to escalate their privileges.

Each finding demonstrates how small misconfigurations can snowball into major security risks—and what you can do to prevent them.
