This report describes an ethical hacker's discovery that FIFA's World Cup systems could be accessed due to backend authorization gaps: UI permissions were enforced but server-side controls were missing, allowing an account from the football agent platform to reach broadcast and match-management infrastructure. The flaw could have enabled interruption or replacement of live broadcasts; it was reportedly disclosed responsibly and remediated.
