FIFA World Cup Broadcast System Had Critical Access Control Flaw Letting Anyone Take Over
INSIDE 硬塞 AI·yesterday·Incident
A security researcher disclosed a critical broken access control vulnerability in FIFA's internal World Cup broadcast system. Because the backend API performed no authorization verification, any registered user could gain full administrative access to the live broadcast backend. This would have allowed modification of real-time video streams and match data; FIFA says the flaw has since been patched.
