Accessing Max Verstappen's passport and PII through FIA bugs

Rule 1.

NEVER trust user supplied data.

Once that rule was broken, any other rules broken became clear to everyone

You'd think that client side security would be something that we'd gotten over by now.

You'd think but I keep meeting even "experienced" technical leadership that have been at this for a while that there's no way to get around validation and security that's implemented in client code.

I’ve used browser dev tools to regularly add additional drop down options to menus that weren’t present. Huel, for example, only offered 2 or 4 week subscriptions, so I added 3 weeks to it because that’s the frequency I needed, and it worked no problem. 3 weeks later my shakes arrived and every 3 weeks since.

A kid in Hungary was arrested for exactly this (and it was a cheap bus ticket): https://www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/hotforsecurity/budape...

It doesn’t seem crazy to me that someone should be arrested for that! It’s stealing. If someone came in my house and stole my property I’d expect them to be arrested, even if I had stupidly left the door wide open.

No. It’s if you were selling something in your house for $10. Somebody came in, crossed out the number on the tag, wrote down $1 and handed you a bill.

Then you took their money and gave them the item without saying anything.

Would seem like a weird situation but I don’t see how its theft.
