To audit API design for security footguns, evaluate whether interfaces make secure usage the path of least resistance by probing cryptographic ergonomics and authentication parameters for dangerous defaults and edge cases.

Misuse resistance analysis evaluates API designs to ensure secure implementation is the easiest path, preventing developers from accidentally downgrading security or reusing nonces when consuming cryptographic primitives.

Check configuration schemas for dangerous defaults by scanning for unvalidated constructor parameters and insecure combinations that could expose vulnerabilities during application initialization.

Yes, threat modeling validates authentication interfaces by performing surface identification and edge case probing to test resistance against common developer footguns and security-critical design flaws.

The best way to identify dangerous cryptographic library misuses is performing a full security audit on your directory to detect exposed primitives that allow developers to accidentally downgrade security.

Exposing cryptographic primitives leads to vulnerabilities because developers can accidentally downgrade security or reuse nonces when APIs lack secure-by-default configurations and misuse resistance.
