Rule ID #

SN-RESTAPI_DATAMOD_NO_AUTHOR

Impact #

Defining a REST API Resource with a data modification verb (POST/DELETE/PATCH) without authorization restrictions via ACLs is a security risk, as it allows any user with login credentials to modify data in your instance.

Remediation #

Ensure that all REST API Resources which can modify data have authentication and authorization checks enabled.
