Your APIs Are Exposed. Most Businesses Don't Realise Until It's Too Late.
We test your REST and GraphQL APIs for the vulnerabilities that lead to data breaches, unauthorised access, and service disruption.
Why API Security Is Critical
APIs power everything — your mobile app, your integrations, your SaaS platform, your internal tools. They're also the most attacked surface in modern applications.
Unlike web pages, APIs don't have a visible UI. That makes vulnerabilities harder to spot and easier to exploit at scale. An attacker with a single API key or a broken endpoint can extract your entire database in minutes.
The OWASP API Security Top 10 exists for a reason. Most APIs we test fail on at least 3 of the 10 categories.
What We Test
Authentication & Authorisation
- → Broken Object Level Authorisation (BOLA)
- → Broken Authentication — weak token handling
- → Broken Function Level Authorisation
- → API key management and exposure
Data Exposure
- → Excessive data exposure in responses
- → Mass assignment vulnerabilities
- → Sensitive data in headers or errors
Input & Injection
- → SQL and NoSQL Injection
- → Command injection via API inputs
- → Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Rate Limiting & Abuse
- → Missing rate limiting on sensitive endpoints
- → Resource exhaustion attacks
- → Lack of pagination leading to data dumps
Configuration
- → CORS misconfiguration
- → Verbose error messages
- → Exposed Swagger/OpenAPI in production
GraphQL-Specific
- → Introspection enabled in production
- → Query depth and complexity attacks
- → Batching attacks
- → Field-level authorisation bypass
Real-World Example
A fintech startup asked us to test their payment processing API before going live. We found:
Broken Object Level Authorisation
By changing the transaction_id parameter, any authenticated user could view any other user's transaction history — including amounts, recipients, and account details.
Missing rate limiting on OTP endpoint
An attacker could brute-force the 6-digit verification code in under 15 minutes.
Excessive data exposure
The /api/users/me endpoint returned the user's full record including hashed password, internal role flags, and database ID.
All three were fixed within a week with our remediation guidance. The API launched on schedule.
