If you only look at the parameters sent with the request, you're basically 
login in everyone as an administrator.

The remedy is easy: authenticate your requests, and use the authenticated 
user to filter data on the server-side.

Either let the browser do it (using cookies or HTTP auth) or do it yourself 
(create a "token" for the client and associate it with a user on the 
server-side, the client sends the token with each request, which 
authenticates it on the server-side; this is basically mimicking a cookie, 
just at another level).
Only way to authenticate as another user is to "steal" his "token" (so make 
sure you make them expire).

This is only the *first* step though; security is hard, and the above is 
clearly not enough to declare your application "secure".
