Mass assignment is a feature that allows users to update multiple properties of an object or variable in one request.

This feature can be used by attackers to modify sensitive data, create new variables and objects, or overwrite existing ones.

How do I prevent mass assignments?

To mitigate the risk of mass assignment vulnerabilities, you should implement proper input validation on your endpoints using tools like JSON Schema Validation . You could also use APIs like Auth0’s Rules API , which provides a way for developers to define access control rules at the time of authentication instead of having to write code for each endpoint. These approaches will ensure that only authorized requests are allowed into your application
