API Security
Testing

APIs are the most targeted attack surface in modern applications. Broken authorisation, weak authentication, and exposed business logic give adversaries direct access to your data. We find every exploitable path.

API Security

Endpoints, Exploited

01

API Discovery & Documentation Review

We enumerate all API endpoints — including undocumented and legacy versions — using Swagger/OpenAPI specifications, traffic analysis, and active probing. We map authentication flows, data models, and inter-service communication.

02

Authentication & Authorisation Testing

We test every authentication mechanism — JWT implementation, API key rotation, OAuth flows, and session management. Authorisation testing covers BOLA (IDOR), BFLA, and mass assignment vulnerabilities that expose other users' data.

03

Injection & Business Logic

We test for injection vulnerabilities specific to API contexts — NoSQL injection, GraphQL introspection abuse, query depth attacks, and parameter pollution. Business logic flaws that allow price manipulation, workflow bypass, and data leakage are also assessed.

04

Report & Remediation

The report is structured around OWASP API Security Top 10. Every finding includes a reproduction walkthrough, the business impact of successful exploitation, and specific remediation guidance for developers.
