API security
testing.

APIs are the modern attack surface — and the hardest to inventory. We discover, document, and exhaustively test REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and SOAP services against the OWASP API Security Top 10.

01 / Overview

You can’t defend what you can’t see.

Most breaches in the past five years have traced back to an API your security team didn’t know existed — a deprecated version, a mobile-only endpoint, an admin route in staging. We begin by building the API inventory you don’t have, then exhaustively test every surface.

Every role. Every tenant. Every verb. Every parameter. Mapped to the OWASP API Security Top 10 and delivered with reproducible PoCs and spec-level fixes.

02 / OWASP API Top 10

Every category. Manually validated.

API1
Broken Object-Level Authorization

Direct object references, tenant bleed, and identifier enumeration across every resource.

API2
Broken Authentication

Token lifecycle, refresh abuse, JWT flaws, MFA bypass, and credential stuffing resilience.

API3
Broken Object Property-Level Authorization

Mass assignment, excessive data exposure, and field-level access failures.

API4
Unrestricted Resource Consumption

Rate limiting, quota enforcement, and abuse of expensive operations.

API5
Broken Function-Level Authorization

Horizontal and vertical privilege escalation through administrative or hidden endpoints.

API6
Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows

Automation-driven abuse of signup, checkout, coupon, and workflow endpoints.

API7
Server-Side Request Forgery

URL handling, internal service access, and metadata-endpoint exposure.

API8
Security Misconfiguration

CORS, TLS, error handling, debug exposure, and insecure defaults.

API9
Improper Inventory Management

Shadow APIs, deprecated versions, environment drift, and documentation gaps.

API10
Unsafe Consumption of Third-Party APIs

Supply-chain exposure from downstream services and SDKs.

03 / Methodology

Discover, enumerate, abuse, verify.

01

Discovery & Inventory

API catalog construction via docs, spec files (OpenAPI, GraphQL schema, protobuf), traffic capture, and active discovery — including shadow APIs.

02

Authenticated Role Matrix

Testing across every role, tenant, and scope — anonymous through admin — against the full OWASP API Security Top 10.

03

Abuse & Logic Testing

Business-logic abuse, workflow chaining, mass-assignment, race conditions, and GraphQL-specific attacks (introspection, batching, depth).

04

Reporting & Retest

Reproducible PoCs, developer-grade remediation, spec recommendations, and verified retest.
