+# IDOR Vulnerability Fix in Prompts Activity Endpoint
+
+## Bug Found
+
+**Author of original code:** Mark Story (commit ae9d7c01c30 and related)
+**Severity:** High - Security vulnerability (IDOR - Indirect Object Reference)
+
+## Problem
+
+The `/api/0/organizations/{org}/prompts-activity/` endpoint had an IDOR vulnerability where a user could dismiss prompts for projects belonging to OTHER organizations.
+
+### Vulnerable Code (Before Fix)
+
+```python
+if "project_id" in required_fields:
+    if not Project.objects.filter(id=fields["project_id"]).exists():
+        return Response({"detail": "Project no longer exists"}, status=400)
+```
+
+**Issue:** The code only checked if the project EXISTS in the database, but didn't verify that the project belongs to the user's organization. This allowed a malicious user to:
+
+1. Discover project IDs from other organizations
+2. Submit requests with their own organization but another org's project ID
+3. Successfully create prompt activity records for projects they shouldn't have access to
+
+## Fix
+
+Added proper authorization check by scoping the project query to the current organization:
+
+```python
+if "project_id" in required_fields:
+    # SECURITY: Verify project exists AND belongs to the organization
+    if not Project.objects.filter(
+        id=fields["project_id"], organization_id=request.organization.id
+    ).exists():
+        return Response(
+            {"detail": "Project does not belong to this organization"}, status=400
+        )
+```
+
+## Changes Made
+
+### 1. Fixed the security vulnerability
+
+**File:** `src/sentry/api/endpoints/prompts_activity.py`
+
+- Line 95-101: Added `organization_id=request.organization.id` filter to project existence check
+- Changed error message to be more accurate: "Project does not belong to this organization"
+- Added detailed comment explaining the security concern
+
+### 2. Added test to prevent regression
+
+**File:** `tests/sentry/api/endpoints/test_prompts_activity.py`
+
+- Added `test_project_from_different_organization()` to verify that users cannot dismiss prompts for projects in other organizations
+- Updated `test_invalid_project()` to check for the new error message
+
+## Why This Matters
+
+This follows the security guidelines in AGENTS.md:
+
+> **Core Principle: Always Scope Queries by Organization/Project**
+>
+> When querying resources, ALWAYS include `organization_id` and/or `project_id` in your query filters. Never trust user-supplied IDs alone.
+
+Mark Story fixed a similar issue with organization_id string comparison in the same file, but missed this project validation issue. This is a common pattern to watch for throughout the codebase.
+
+## Advice for @markstory
+
+Hey Mark! Great work on fixing the organization_id string comparison bug in ae9d7c01c30. While reviewing this endpoint, I noticed a related security issue with the project_id validation.
+
+### Key Takeaways for Future Work:
+
+1. **Always scope by organization:** Whenever you query a resource using a user-supplied ID, always include `organization_id` in the filter:
+
+   ```python
+   # ❌ Vulnerable
+   Project.objects.filter(id=project_id).exists()
+
+   # ✅ Secure
+   Project.objects.filter(id=project_id, organization_id=org_id).exists()
+   ```
+
+2. **Don't use `self.get_projects()` when you can:** The endpoint has `self.get_projects()` available which already validates permissions, but since you're getting `project_id` from request data rather than query params, the manual validation is fine—just needs the org scope.
+
+3. **IDOR checklist:** When writing endpoints that accept resource IDs:
+   - [ ] Does the resource belong to the user's organization?
+   - [ ] Does the user have the right permissions for this resource?
+   - [ ] Could a malicious user guess/enumerate IDs from other orgs?
+
+4. **Test for authorization failures:** When adding tests, always include at least one test that tries to access a resource from a different organization. This catches these bugs early.
+
+The pattern you established with the organization_id string comparison was great—this just extends that security thinking to the project relationship as well!
+
+## Test the Fix
+
+Run the test suite:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/sentry/api/endpoints/test_prompts_activity.py -xvs --reuse-db
+```
+
+The new test `test_project_from_different_organization` should pass, confirming the vulnerability is fixed.

+# Code Review: Prompts Activity IDOR Fix
+
+## Hey @markstory! 👋
+
+I found and fixed a security vulnerability in the prompts activity endpoint you've been working on. Don't worry—these IDOR bugs are subtle and easy to miss! Here's what happened and some advice for the future.
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 The Bug
+
+**Location:** `src/sentry/api/endpoints/prompts_activity.py` (lines 94-101)
+
+**What happened:** The endpoint checked if a project exists, but didn't verify it belongs to the user's organization.
+
+### Before (Vulnerable):
+
+```python
+if "project_id" in required_fields:
+    if not Project.objects.filter(id=fields["project_id"]).exists():
+        return Response({"detail": "Project no longer exists"}, status=400)
+```
+
+### After (Secure):
+
+```python
+if "project_id" in required_fields:
+    # SECURITY: Verify project exists AND belongs to the organization
+    if not Project.objects.filter(
+        id=fields["project_id"], organization_id=request.organization.id
+    ).exists():
+        return Response(
+            {"detail": "Project does not belong to this organization"}, status=400
+        )
+```
+
+**Impact:** A malicious user could:
+
+1. Guess/enumerate project IDs from other organizations
+2. Send a request with their org ID but another org's project ID
+3. Successfully create prompt activity for projects they shouldn't access
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Lessons & Best Practices
+
+### 1. **Always Scope Queries by Organization**
+
+This is the #1 security rule for multi-tenant apps like Sentry:
+
+```python
+# ❌ VULNERABLE - Only checks existence
+Model.objects.filter(id=user_supplied_id).exists()
+
+# ✅ SECURE - Scopes to current organization
+Model.objects.filter(
+    id=user_supplied_id,
+    organization_id=current_org_id
+).exists()
+```
+
+### 2. **Use Available Authorization Helpers**
+
+For endpoints, `self.get_projects()` is your friend:
+
+```python
+# Instead of manual validation:
+projects = Project.objects.filter(id__in=project_ids, organization_id=org.id)
+
+# Use the built-in method (when appropriate):
+projects = self.get_projects(
+    request=request,
+    organization=organization,
+    project_ids=request.data.get("project_id")
+)
+```
+
+(Note: In your case, manual validation was fine since you're handling single IDs from request body—just needed the org scope!)
+
+### 3. **Security Testing Checklist**
+
+When writing tests for endpoints that accept resource IDs, always include:
+
+- ✅ Happy path (valid resource, correct org)
+- ✅ Resource doesn't exist
+- ✅ **Resource exists but belongs to DIFFERENT org** ← This catches IDOR bugs!
+- ✅ Missing required fields
+- ✅ Invalid permissions
+
+### 4. **Watch for This Pattern Everywhere**
+
+Any time you see `request.data.get("some_id")` or `request.GET.get("some_id")`, ask:
+
+- Does this resource have an organization relationship?
+- Am I verifying that relationship in my query?
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 What I Changed
+
+### 1. Fixed the vulnerability
+
+- **File:** `src/sentry/api/endpoints/prompts_activity.py`
+- **Change:** Added `organization_id=request.organization.id` to the project filter
+- **Added:** Detailed security comment explaining why (so future devs understand)
+
+### 2. Added regression test
+
+- **File:** `tests/sentry/api/endpoints/test_prompts_activity.py`
+- **New test:** `test_project_from_different_organization()`
+- **Purpose:** Ensures users can't access projects from other orgs
+
+### 3. Updated existing test
+
+- **Test:** `test_invalid_project()`
+- **Change:** Updated to expect new error message
+
+---
+
+## 🤔 Why This Happened
+
+You actually DID fix a security issue in this same file in commit ae9d7c01c30—the organization_id string comparison bug! That shows you're thinking about security.
+
+The project_id validation was just one level deeper and easier to miss. The original code was checking "does project exist?" but not "does this user have access to this project?"
+
+---
+
+## 📚 Further Reading
+
+- See `AGENTS.md` in the repo for more on IDOR prevention
+- Search for "OWASP IDOR" for general info on this vulnerability class
+- The fix follows Sentry's existing patterns (check other endpoints with `organization_id` filters)
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Validation
+
+The fix includes:
+
+- Clear security comments in the code
+- Regression test that will fail if someone removes the org scope
+- Updated error message that's more accurate
+
+---
+
+## Questions?
+
+This is a really common pattern to miss, so don't sweat it! The important thing is having tests that catch it. Going forward, when you see endpoints that accept project/org IDs from users, just remember: **never trust, always verify, always scope!**
+
+Let me know if you have any questions about the fix or want to discuss other security patterns in the codebase.
+
+Cheers! 🍻
