FAQPage Schema
How do I determine the most effective security testing path for APIs?

To determine an effective API security testing path, you must assess vulnerabilities like object authorization, token abuse, and hidden parameters before executing specific tests. A structured routing approach helps triage these issues to specialized testing workflows.

What is the best way to start a security assessment for GraphQL endpoints?

Start a GraphQL security assessment by using a routing entry point to evaluate aspects like object authorization and token abuse. This provides a decision matrix to route endpoints to the appropriate targeted testing workflow.

Can I use a single workflow for REST API and mobile backend security testing?

You can use a single routing entry point to decide between security testing workflows for both REST APIs and mobile backends. It offers a skill map to guide authorization, recon, and token abuse testing across these platforms.

How do I check for object authorization and token abuse vulnerabilities in my API?

Check for object authorization and token abuse by following a recommended structured testing flow. This approach assesses various security aspects and hidden parameters first, ensuring you apply the correct specific API tests afterward.

Does API security testing require assessing hidden parameters before specific tests?

Yes, API security testing requires assessing hidden parameters, object authorization, and token abuse before applying specific tests. This preliminary assessment determines the most effective testing path and routes issues to the correct workflow.
