APIs have become the backbone of modern applications, and with that comes increased security risk.
Key Findings
BOLA Still Dominates — Broken Object Level Authorization remains the #1 API vulnerability.
GraphQL Adoption — 45% of new APIs use GraphQL, requiring specialized security testing.
Authentication Failures — JWT misconfigurations and weak token handling are rampant.
Recommendations
1. Implement strict authorization checks at every endpoint 2. Use automated API security testing in CI/CD pipelines 3. Monitor for unusual API access patterns 4. Regularly rotate API keys and secrets
