An application programming interface (API) is a way for one piece of software to interact with another piece of software. If a program or application has an API, external clients can request services from it.
API security is the process of protecting APIs from attacks. Just as applications, networks, and servers can be subject to attack, APIs can fall victim to a number of different threats.
APIs might expose hundreds of highly valuable endpoints that are very appealing to hackers. Ensuring your APIs are secure before, during, and after production is becoming table stakes.
API and Web Services are vulnerable to various application attacks like SQL injection, XML injection and Command injection etc. Apart from the typical web/mobile app vulnerabilities, API itself has some specific vulnerabilities such as -
JSON or XML based vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities in API key or tokens
Business logic issues Protects sensitive data from breaches.
Reduces risk from both internal and third-party sources.
Avoid costly service interruptions by preventing infections and exploits
No Business Disruptions
Keeps customer data secure and builds customer confidence.
Reconnaissance:
Planning and Analysis:
Vulnerability Detection:
Identifying potential threats to resources.
Use of automated scanners to find out signature based vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL, LFI,etc.
Manual methods are used to find out the business logic errors which might compromise the application.
While automated tool testing enables efficiency, it effectively provides areas of interest to further explore through manual testing.
We follow standards like Open Web Application Security Project OWASP Top 10(Web/Mobile/API), SANS 25, etc.
Exploitation:
Piece of software or script used to exploit the vulnerability.
Gather and log evidence that can be used to prove the exploitation with the help of screenshots.
Chaining of vulnerabilities to leverage the impact.
We aim to manually exploit the vulnerability identified in the previous steps in order to determine its potential impact and its risk.
Initial Reporting:
