SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Organizations need to validate API security across multiple protocols (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket) to detect critical weaknesses before exploitation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end API security testing covering Broken Object Level Authorization, mass assignment, rate limiting, and data exposure across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket.
  • OWASP API Top 10 alignment with targeted attack patterns and evidence-driven results for audit-ready reporting.
  • Use Case: A security team validates a new microservices API surface in staging by simulating admin-level actions on regular user accounts and verifying guards.

Quick Start

Initiate a targeted API security test against your REST/GraphQL/gRPC services and generate actionable findings.

Frequently Asked Questions about pentest-api-deep

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I test for Broken Object Level Authorization and mass assignment vulnerabilities in my API?▼

API security testing validates BFLA and mass assignment vulnerabilities by simulating admin-level actions on regular user accounts and verifying authorization guards across REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket protocols.

Can I automate GraphQL and gRPC security testing to align with the OWASP API Top 10?▼

Yes, deep API security testing applies targeted attack patterns to GraphQL and gRPC protocols, covering OWASP API Top 10 weaknesses like excessive data exposure and generating evidence-driven, audit-ready results for CI/CD integration.

What is the best way to discover authorization gaps in staging microservices APIs?▼

The best way to discover authorization gaps is by performing targeted attack simulations in staging or production-like environments, which enumerates endpoints and tests security weaknesses across all API protocols.

Does API security testing cover rate limiting and schema validation checks?▼

Yes, comprehensive API security testing includes rate limiting checks, schema and versioning validation, and structured result generation to detect critical weaknesses before exploitation in REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket services.

How do I generate structured API security findings for downstream CI/CD pipelines?▼

You generate structured API security findings by executing targeted attack simulations that produce evidence-driven results, enabling seamless integration and automated auditing within CI/CD pipelines.
