VECTOR 01: THE “SILENT” BREACHES

// INCIDENT REPORT:
Automated scanners flagged the perimeter as “SECURE.” They were wrong.

• TARGET: Fintech Banking Core ($5k Bounty)
• EXPLOIT: /api/v1/tickets/view?ticket_id=8765
• FAILURE: Scanner confirmed “Authentication” (User is logged in). Scanner missed “Authorization” (User A can view User B’s banking complaints).
• RESULT: CRITICAL DATA EXFILTRATION.

VECTOR 02: THE SERIES B “KILL SWITCH”

// INVESTOR PROTOCOL UPDATE:
Top-tier firms (a16z, Sequoia) have escalated diligence. They now deploy “National Security Advisory” teams to audit code logic.

“If your security posture is just a ‘Green Dashboard’ from a generic compliance tool, the deal dies on the table.”

VECTOR 03: REGULATORY HARDLINE

// SOC 2 CRITERIA CC6.1:
“The entity implements logical access security software… to protect assets.”

>> TRANSLATION: Auditors know “Logical Access” means Segregation of Duties. If a Standard User can trigger an Admin API, you are NON-COMPLIANT.
