Frequently Asked Questions

How does middleBrick detect privilege escalation in Sinatra applications?
middleBrick performs black-box scanning of your Sinatra API endpoints, testing for broken function level authorization (BFLA) by attempting to access admin-only routes without proper credentials, checking for IDOR vulnerabilities where users can manipulate object identifiers, and verifying that session-based privilege changes are properly secured. The scanner tests 12 security categories in parallel and provides severity ratings with remediation guidance.
Can middleBrick scan my local Sinatra development server?
Yes, middleBrick can scan any running Sinatra application, including local development servers. Simply start your Sinatra app locally and use the middleBrick CLI to scan the URL (e.g., middlebrick scan http://localhost:4567). The scanner tests the unauthenticated attack surface and provides a security risk score with detailed findings, making it ideal for catching privilege escalation vulnerabilities before deployment.
