SaaS Security

Core Summary Security firm Strix identified a critical multi-tenant authorization vulnerability within a DoD-backed startup, exposing sensitive cross-tenant data due to a fundamental failure in identity and access management logic. Bagua Insight ▶ Compliance vs. Security: Holding DoD contracts provides a veneer of legitimacy, yet it does not immunize startups against basic architectural flaws in multi-tenant isolation. ▶ The SaaS Silent Killer: Broken Access Control (BAC) has eclipsed traditional injection attacks as the most pervasive and dangerous vulnerability in modern cloud-native SaaS environments. Actionable Advice Conduct an immediate "Cross-Tenant Access" audit, specifically stress-testing API endpoints for missing or easily manipulated tenant-ID validation. Shift from simplistic session-based checks to robust Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC) to ensure authorization is decoupled from application logic.
