API security checklist for reviewing endpoints before deployment. Use when creating or modifying API routes to ensure proper authentication, authorization, and input validation.
Audit API security for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, authentication issues, and authorization flaws. Use when securing APIs, fixing security vulnerabilities, or implementing security best practices.
Uses Postman to perform structured API security testing by building collections that test for OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities including authentication bypass, authorization flaws, injection, and data exposure. The tester creates environments with multiple user roles, writes test scripts for automated security validation, and integrates Postman with OWASP ZAP and Newman for CI/CD security testing. Activates for requests involving Postman security testing, API security collection, automated API testing, or OWASP API testing with Postman.
Use for authorized security assessment of REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, or SOAP APIs, including discovery, authentication, authorization, rate-limit, and CI/CD testing.
Implement secure API design patterns including authentication, authorization, input validation, rate limiting, and protection against common API vulnerabilities
API security testing workflow for REST and GraphQL APIs covering authentication, authorization, rate limiting, input validation, and security best practices.
Conducts security testing of REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs to identify vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, rate limiting, input validation, and business logic. The tester uses the OWASP API Security Top 10 as the testing framework, combining Burp Suite interception with Postman collections and custom scripts to test endpoint security at every privilege level. Activates for requests involving API security testing, REST API pentest, GraphQL security assessment, or API vulnerability testing.
Guidance for designing secure APIs on Azure - authentication, authorization, gateway controls, input validation, rate limiting, secret management, and runtime threat detection - aligned to OWASP API Security Top 10 and Azure API Management. WHEN: API security design, secure API, OWASP API Top 10, API authentication, API gateway security, rate limiting, validate JWT, protect backend API, API Management security policies, secure API architecture, BOLA, BFLA. DO NOT USE for general application security or web app design (use security-architecture / threat-modelling) or for API runtime detection only (use defender-for-apis).
REST API security hardening with authentication, rate limiting, input validation, security headers. Use for production APIs, security audits, defense-in-depth, or encountering vulnerabilities, injection attacks, CORS issues.
Guideline for designing, implementing, and verifying secure APIs following OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) best practices. Use when the user wants to: (1) review API code or design for security vulnerabilities, (2) design a secure REST, GraphQL, or gRPC API architecture, (3) implement API authentication and authorization (OAuth2, JWT, API keys, mTLS), (4) configure rate limiting, input validation, or CORS, (5) audit API endpoints for BOLA, BFLA, or mass assignment vulnerabilities, (6) create API security checklists or verification plans, (7) fix API security bugs or harden existing APIs, (8) set up API security testing (OWASP ZAP, Schemathesis, Burp Suite), or (9) handle any API security concern including SSRF prevention, resource consumption limits, business flow protection, API inventory management, and secure third-party API consumption.
Hardens API security with rate limiting, input validation, authentication, and protection against common attacks. Use when users request "API security", "secure API", "rate limiting", "input validation", or "API protection".
Security-test a REST, GraphQL, or gRPC API with Strix — autonomous agents that enumerate endpoints from an OpenAPI/GraphQL schema (or by crawling), then actually exploit the API-specific vulnerability classes in the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) — broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR), broken object property level authorization (excessive data exposure and mass assignment), broken function-level authorization, unrestricted resource consumption, SSRF, injection, and auth/token flaws. Every finding comes with a working proof-of-concept request. Use when the user asks to pentest, security-test, audit, or find vulnerabilities in an API, endpoint, or backend service.
