- 03
Comprehensive Coverage
Our assessment covers the OWASP API Security Top 10 and additional threats specific to your industry and technology stack.
Our Approach
API Security Testing Methodology
Our API security assessment follows a structured methodology to ensure thorough coverage of potential vulnerabilities.
Discovery & Documentation
We identify all API endpoints, parameters, and authentication mechanisms through documentation review and dynamic discovery.
Authentication & Authorization
We test authentication mechanisms, token handling, and authorization controls to identify access control weaknesses.
Data Validation & Business Logic
We test input validation, output encoding, and business logic to identify injection flaws and logic vulnerabilities.
Security Controls Assessment
We evaluate rate limiting, encryption, logging, and other security controls to ensure comprehensive protection.
coverage
What We Test For
Our API security assessment covers all critical vulnerability categories based on the OWASP API Security Top 10 and beyond.
01Broken Object Level Authorization
Testing for authorization flaws that allow attackers to access or modify data they shouldn't have access to.
02Broken Authentication
Identifying weaknesses in authentication mechanisms that could allow unauthorized access to API endpoints.
03Excessive Data Exposure
Finding APIs that expose more data than necessary, potentially leaking sensitive information to clients.
04Lack of Resources & Rate Limiting
Testing for missing or inadequate rate limiting that could lead to denial of service attacks.
05Broken Function Level Authorization
Identifying authorization flaws at the function level that allow access to administrative functions.
06Mass Assignment
Testing for vulnerabilities where APIs automatically bind client-provided data to internal objects.
07Security Misconfiguration
Identifying insecure default configurations, incomplete setups, or verbose error messages.
08Injection
Testing for SQL, NoSQL, command injection, and other injection vulnerabilities in API parameters.
09Improper Assets Management
Identifying outdated API versions, debug endpoints, or improperly secured API documentation.
10Insufficient Logging & Monitoring
Evaluating logging and monitoring capabilities to ensure security events are properly tracked.
11Business Logic Flaws
Identifying application-specific logic vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
12Insecure Direct Object References
Testing for vulnerabilities where APIs expose internal implementation objects to users.

API Endpoint Analysis
OWASP API Top 10 Coverage
- Broken Object Level Authorization
- Broken Authentication
- Excessive Data Exposure
- Lack of Resources & Rate Limiting
- Broken Function Level Authorization
- Mass Assignment
- Security Misconfiguration
- Injection
- Improper Assets Management
- Insufficient Logging & Monitoring
Sample Finding: Broken Object Level Authorization
- Severity:
- High
- Endpoint:
- GET /api/v1/users/{userId}
- Description:
- The API endpoint allows users to access other users' data by manipulating the userId parameter without proper authorization checks.
- Recommendation:
- Implement proper authorization checks to ensure users can only access their own data or data they have explicit permission to access.
