Why access control can’t be ignored
Security blind spot
Every transfer, approval, and data request depends on authorization logic.
Uncontrolled money movement
Over-permissive roles or missing real-time policy checks allow payment services to execute transfers.
Over broad data access
AI agents, APIs, and backend services often have broad access to customer PI & transaction data.
Untraceable access changes
When access rules are managed in different systems, no one can clearly see who changed permissions.
Slow compliance response
Every new AML or KYC rule requires code-level permission updates, delaying rollout and increasing audit risk.
Real breaches. Real companies. Real consequences.
90K accounts exposed
A broken session isolation bug caused users to see other users' account data, exposing PI and payment info due to failed authorization checks between sessions.
7M records leaked
An attacker abused overly broad internal support tool permissions, accessing sensitive user data without proper role-based access enforcement.
