REST APIs
Review exposed endpoints, resources, methods, identities and behavior across REST-style interfaces.
REST · GraphQL · Authorization
Security testing focused on the identities, objects, functions and business rules exposed through application interfaces.
01 / Attack surface
The assessment follows how identities, requests, resources and application workflows interact across the API.
Review exposed endpoints, resources, methods, identities and behavior across REST-style interfaces.
Review schema exposure, operations, resolver behavior and authorization boundaries, including access to returned data.
03 / Validation & reporting
The engagement moves from understanding intended API behavior toward validating meaningful weaknesses and documenting what engineering teams need to correct.
Understand the API architecture, intended identities, trust relationships and assessment boundaries.
Map reachable REST or GraphQL functionality, resources and important operations.
Compare expected access across anonymous, standard and privileged application identities where supplied for the assessment.
Safely validate meaningful authentication, authorization and business-logic weaknesses.
Translate validated behavior into reproducible evidence and practical remediation guidance.
Documented interface and resource context relevant to the assessment.
Identity, object and function authorization observations with reproducible context.
Security findings supported by clear technical evidence rather than scanner output alone.
Practical recommendations and context for correcting the underlying security boundary.
Yes. Authorization is a core focus of the assessment, including object-level access, function-level authorization and BOLA / IDOR behavior.
The API security scope can include REST APIs and GraphQL interfaces when they are part of the authorized assessment scope.
Yes. Testing also considers authorization boundaries, token security, rate limiting, business logic and data exposure.
