Bug of the week #1: you can edit your profile. Can you reach the admin page?

2026-11-02来源 dev.to BeginnersEnglish

Starting today, every Monday there is one new web security bug to find, free and without an account.

This week: Tasklane is a task app for small teams. You are signed in as Sam, a member of the Design team. GET /api/me returns your profile. You can change your display name. GET /api/admin/users answers 403 admin_only.

Your goal: get the admin user list as Sam, then change the server code so it can't happen again, and send both requests once more to prove the fix.

Rules: everything runs in your browser against a simulated API (*.example.test). Nothing touches a real system. It takes about 10 minutes.

I'll post a short write-up next Monday together with bug #2. If you solved it, tell me in the comments how long it took, but don't post the answer yet.
