Application Security Testing
API Security Testing for REST, GraphQL, and Backend-Driven Products
Assess modern APIs the way attackers use them: through broken object access, authorization drift, unsafe workflows, and trust assumptions between services.
Who This Is For
API Security Testing
Best for teams shipping API-first products, partner integrations, mobile backends, or internal services that carry sensitive operations and data.
Related Proof
Why CyberXhunt Fits This Scope
- Research-led testing posture for logic-heavy and high-trust systems
- Evidence-first workflow built around exploitability and impact
- Clear remediation language for engineering and product owners
What Is Tested
Assessment Focus
- Authentication and authorization testing including BOLA and BFLA paths
- Input handling, rate controls, data exposure, and abuse-case coverage
- Request-level testing across REST, GraphQL, and scoped backend flows
- Manual testing supported by automation for endpoint mapping, replay, and evidence capture
Typical Risk Areas
Where This Scope Goes Deeper
- Broken object and function level authorization
- Sensitive data exposure through response patterns or verbose errors
- Weak assumptions across services, tenants, or role boundaries
- Abuse paths hidden behind normal client behavior
Expected Inputs
What Helps Scoping Move Faster
- Base URLs, endpoint collections, or API documentation if available
- Authentication flows, test roles, and tenant setup details
- Environment boundaries, rate limits, and scope constraints
- Release timing or integration context that affects testing depth
Deliverables
Outputs Tied to the Scope
- Request-level evidence for exploitable findings
- Prioritized report mapped to real risk, not raw noise
- Remediation guidance for backend and platform teams
- Optional retest for critical fixes

DAST Validation & Scanner Triage
Confirm which scanner findings are real. Stop spending engineering time chasing false positives — we validate live, confirm exploitability, and separate real risk from scanner noise.
