RISKS

Are you aware of the top vulnerabilities and risks to your API?

Unaddressed and hidden risks in your application’s API can put your operations, data, and reputation at risk.

 
Top API Vulnerabilities 

Broken Object Level Authorization

Can expose API to the risks of unauthorized data disclosure, manipulation, or loss of all data or complete account takeover in some cases

Broken Authentication

can be exploited to gain a complete takeover of the account, exposing personal information and masking unauthorized users as legitimate users

Broken Object Property Level Authorization

It can lead to data disclosure, manipulation, or loss and may even cause account takeover.

Unrestricted Resource Consumption

It may cause a DoS attack. It can negatively impact the server, may cause performance issues, can cause high operational costs of increased CPU demand.

Broken Function Level Authorization

It may expose endpoints to unauthorized users and may give unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows

It may impact business, preventing legitimate users from engaging in a service like making a purchase.

Server-Side Request Forgery

May disclose information about an internal service (service enumeration), expose sensitive information, enable attackers to bypass firewalls, and can enable attackers to use servers for masking malicious activities.

Security Misconfiguration

It can cause disclosure of sensitive user data and system details or can compromise an entire server.

Improper Inventory Management

It may lead to access to sensitive data, server takeover, and unauthorized access to admin functions.

Unsafe Consumption of APIs

It may cause exposure of sensitive information, code injection, and expose API to the threat of DoS attacks.

SOLUTION

SharkStriker helps you discover & address risks and boost resilience of your API

Assess whether there are authorization checks that verify user permissions for data access/modification.

Check for strong authentication mechanisms, Multi-Factor Authentication, and password policies.

Perform property-level authorization checks and assessment of access controls.

Test measures for input validation, rate limiting, and request throttling to defend against unrestricted resource usage.

Authorize checks at the function level to prevent Broken Function Level Authorization vulnerabilities.

Test the effectiveness of access controls and workflow validation mechanisms.

Assess user-supplied input (including URLs) validation, firewall rules, restrictions on internal requests, and network segmentation.

Perform a comprehensive review of API configurations against best practices using manual tools and automated tools like DAST to detect misconfigurations.

Check whether any unnecessary features are enabled.

Assess whether API inventory is maintained with accurate information for risk management and compliance.

Test whether a mechanism for security monitoring of external APIs and input validation and output encoding is present during API consumption.
