API Penetration Testing (API Pentesting)
API Penetration Testing is a security assessment focused on identifying vulnerabilities in REST, SOAP to protect against unauthorized access, data breaches, and injection attacks. It ensures your APIs are secure, compliant, and resilient against real-world threats.
📌 What’s Included in API Pentesting?
✅ Reconnaissance & Information Gathering – API enumeration, endpoint discovery, and analysis
✅ Authentication & Authorization Testing – Token-based security, OAuth flaws, and session hijacking prevention
✅ Input Validation & Injection Testing – SQL Injection, NoSQL Injection, Command Injection checks
✅ Broken Object-Level Authorization (BOLA) – Testing unauthorized access to sensitive data
✅ Broken User Authentication – Evaluating weak authentication mechanisms
✅ Rate Limiting & DoS Protection – Identifying abuse risks from excessive API calls
✅ Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Testing – Checking for API requests manipulating backend services
✅ Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Testing – Identifying misconfigurations
✅ Business Logic Testing – Evaluating API workflow security gaps
✅ Sensitive Data Exposure Assessment – Checking encryption, JWT security, and storage best practices
✅ Final Security Report & Remediation Guidance – Comprehensive findings with step-by-step fixes
