McHire hack 2025, McDonald’s data breach, default password 123456, IDOR
vulnerability in this step-by-step demo, David Bombal shows how security researchers ripped open McHire, the Paradox.ai chatbot that 90% of U.S. McDonald’s franchises use to hire staff. You’ll see:
• How a forgotten test admin panel still accepted username 123456 / password 123456.
• How a single parameter-tampering attack (IDOR) exposed 64 million+ applicant chat logs; names, emails, addresses, even session tokens.
• Rapid response timeline (report 30 June 2025, patch the same day).
• Practical mitigation tips: kill default creds, add auth checks, run continuous bug-bounty tests.
Plus, David jumps into a PortSwigger Academy IDOR lab so you can practice
the exact exploit techniques, safely. Whether you’re a developer, red-teamer, hit play and level-up your web-app defense skills.
