E-commerce security — cart-tampering + BOLA on order routes + account takeover

Updated

E-commerce security has a payment-token layer and a non-payment layer (auth, BOLA, fraud). Most modern e-commerce uses Stripe / Shop Pay / Apple Pay tokenization so raw card data never touches your servers.

Top security risks

Cart tampering

Client-side price comparison + server-side trust on the client-supplied total = attacker pays $1 for a $1000 product. Always recompute totals server-side.

BOLA on /orders/[id]

Most common e-commerce data leak — orders accessible by ID without ownership check.

Credential stuffing

Customer accounts attacked with leaked credentials from elsewhere. Rate limiting + MFA + impossible-travel detection.

Coupon abuse + fraud

Single-use coupons reused, gift-card balances enumerated, refund fraud.

Regulatory context

Securie focuses on the security-engineering surface: payment-token handling, server-side total recomputation, BOLA on order routes, and account-takeover defense verified on every change.
