Security gaps like weak authentication, injection vulnerabilities and misconfigurations can lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, and service disruptions.
CF’s API Security Testing service helps identify and mitigate these risks, ensuring your APIs remain protected, resilient and aligned with OWASP API Security Top 10 best practices.
Key Security Challenges We Address
Weak Authentication And Access Controls
Vulnerabilities in token management, OAuth and API key implementations can lead to unauthorized access.
Injection And Input Validation Risks
Insufficient validation exposes APIs to SQL injection, XSS and other input-based attacks.
Rate Limiting And Abuse Prevention
Lack of proper controls increases the risk of API misuse, brute force attempts and DoS attacks.
Business Logic Exploitation
Flaws in API workflows can be manipulated by attackers to bypass security measures.
Our Approach
1. API Discovery and Asset Mapping
We identify all API endpoints, assess their request or response structures, and map potential attack surfaces.
2. Authentication and Authorization Validation
We evaluate authentication mechanisms like OAuth, JWT, API keys and test access control policies to prevent unauthorized access.
3. Input Validation and Injection Testing
We test how APIs handle user inputs to detect vulnerabilities like SQL Injection, Cross-site Scripting (XSS), and XML External Entities (XXE).
4. Data Exposure and Security Misconfiguration Analysis
We analyze API responses for sensitive data exposure, error handling flaws, and misconfigured security controls.
5. Business Logic and Workflow Testing
We simulate real-world attack scenarios to uncover logical flaws and bypass techniques that could be exploited.
