This root of this bug (exposing profile_id or some user identifier in a hidden field and passing it to the server as a parameter) is incredibly common, and super easy to exploit via inspect element.
We have a rails test that we give dev candidates, and red flags go up when we see this happening (which is far more often than I'd like to admit). Kind of scary that there's likely a bunch of production code floating around that is so easily hackable.
