Something shifted in security operations over the last two years: AI stopped being a pilot program and became the plan.And if you survey 500 security professionals on whether that's going well – as Omdia did, commissioned by Rapid7 – you get a remarkable level of consensus: 97% report positive outcomes, 98% say AI reduces alert fatigue, and 95% say it's helping address staffing shortages.Those numbers are high enough that the story could stop there; AI is working, everyone agrees. Move on. But there's a more interesting finding sitting underneath that consensus, and it tells you something imp…

The endpoint that cancels asset checkout requests, POST /account/request/{itemType}/{itemId}/{cancel_by_admin?}/{requestingUser?}, trusts two user-controlled URL path parameters without performing a server-side authorization check. The cancel_by_admin segment is treated as a boolean, and because any non-empty value is truthy in PHP it bypasses the request-ownership check (isRequestedBy()) through a logical OR, while the requestingUser segment selects whose chec…
