Why it matters

— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board
1

Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1

Attacker
I craft malicious input that bypasses validation checks in the REST API endpoint.
Business
Attackers gain a direct pathway to customer account compromise without requiring valid credentials.
2

Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2

Attacker
I submit the crafted payload to take over an existing customer account through the API.
Business
Customer accounts are compromised, exposing personal information, payment methods, and order history to unauthorized parties.
3

Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3

Attacker
I access the compromised account to view sensitive customer data and transaction records.
Business
The organization faces data breach liability, regulatory fines, and mandatory breach notification costs.
4

Data at risk — exfiltration narrative 4

Attacker
I perform fraudulent transactions or modify account settings to maintain persistence.
Business
Revenue loss occurs through fraudulent orders and chargebacks, plus operational costs for incident response and remediation.
5

Lights out — disruption & extortion narrative 5

Attacker
I exfiltrate customer data for sale or use in further attacks against the customer base.
Business
Reputational damage, loss of customer trust, and potential class-action litigation result from widespread account compromise.
