API Security Router

This is the routing entry point for API security testing.

Use this skill first to decide whether the API issue is mostly recon/docs, object authorization, token trust, or GraphQL/hidden parameters, then route to a deeper topic skill.

When to Use

  • The target exposes REST APIs, mobile backends, or GraphQL endpoints
  • You need to define API testing order before going into specific topics
  • You want to handle object authorization, JWT, GraphQL, and hidden fields as separate tracks

Quick Triage

ObservationRoute
Swagger or OpenAPI is presentapi-recon-and-docs
IDs appear in URL, JSON, headers, or GraphQL argsapi-authorization-and-bola
JWT token visible in trafficapi-auth-and-jwt-abuse
/graphql or batched JSON arrays are presentgraphql-and-hidden-parameters
Registration, login, or profile updates accept extra fieldsapi-authorization-and-bola then api-auth-and-jwt-abuse
  1. Start with exposed endpoints and documentation assets
  2. Then evaluate object-level and function-level authorization
  3. Then evaluate token, header, signature, and rate-limit boundaries
  4. If GraphQL or complex JSON is present, continue with hidden fields and schema abuse
