SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

API security testing and assessment for REST and GraphQL endpoints to identify auth bypasses, misconfigurations, and injection risks, enabling safer deployments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discovery and reconnaissance of API surface and documentation
  • Authentication, authorization, and access control testing including token handling and privilege escalation
  • Rate limiting, fuzzing, and injection testing (SQL/NoSQL/command) across REST/GraphQL endpoints
  • Use Case: A security engineer assesses a microservice API and produces a remediation plan and evidence pack.

Quick Start

Run a targeted REST/GraphQL security assessment against your API and review the findings.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test my REST and GraphQL APIs for authentication bypass and authorization flaws?▼

API security testing identifies authentication bypass and authorization flaws by analyzing token handling and testing for privilege escalation across REST and GraphQL endpoints to produce a remediation plan and evidence pack.

What is the best way to check REST and GraphQL APIs for injection and rate-limiting vulnerabilities?▼

Checking REST and GraphQL APIs for injection and rate-limiting vulnerabilities involves fuzzing endpoints and testing SQL, NoSQL, and command injection risks to ensure safer deployments against common attacks.

Can I use Swagger and OpenAPI documentation for API security assessments?▼

Swagger and OpenAPI analysis is supported during API security assessments to discover the API surface and documentation, enabling targeted reconnaissance before testing access controls and injection risks.

Does API security testing work for microservices and modern web apps during penetration testing?▼

API security testing works for microservices and modern web apps during penetration testing and bug-hunting by assessing authentication, authorization, fuzzing, and injection risks across exposed endpoints.

How do I discover and assess the API surface before running a penetration test?▼

Discovering and assessing the API surface before penetration testing involves reconnaissance of API documentation and endpoints to map the attack surface before executing access control and injection tests.

What should I do after finding misconfigurations and access control flaws in my API?▼

After finding misconfigurations and access control flaws in your API, you should review the generated findings and apply the safe remediation guidance provided to enable safer deployments.
