IDOR Mitigation: AngularJS vs Angular Implementation (Claude generated)

1. AngularJS Implementation

• Uses real Express backend
• Authentication via authenticate middleware on server
• Authorization in /api/user/:id route on server
• Frontend sends auth token with requests

2. Angular Implementation

• Simulates backend with interceptors
• Token management in UserService (frontend)
• Authentication simulated via authInterceptor
• Authorization simulated in mockBackendInterceptor

3. Similarities

• Demonstrate token-based authentication
• Implement user-specific data access control
• Handle errors for unauthorized access
• Protect frontend routes

4. Key Differences

• Real backend vs simulated backend layer
• Server-side vs simulated security checks
• Separation of concerns (clear in AngularJS, blurred in Angular)
