Exploiting An Api Endpoint Using Documentation Christian V From earlier notes, we learnt that we could find api documentation by investigating the base path of an api endpoint, like checking api user, api. let's try that. Required knowledge to solve this lab, you'll need to know: what api documentation is. how api documentation may be useful to an attacker. how to discover api documentation. these points are covered in our api testing academy topic.
Exploiting An Api Endpoint Using Documentation Christian V Introduction this lab focuses on exploiting an exposed api endpoint using publicly accessible documentation. In this video, i walk through how to exploit an api endpoint using exposed documentation in a portswigger web security academy lab. i demonstrate how to analyze available endpoints, and use it to. Vulnerability: information disclosure (exposed api documentation). description: the application exposes its full api schema (swagger openapi interface) at a predictable path ( api). The article titled "exploiting an api endpoint using documentation" delves into the methods employed by attackers to exploit application programming interfaces (apis) by leveraging publicly available documentation.

The article titled "exploiting an api endpoint using documentation" delves into the methods employed by attackers to exploit application programming interfaces (apis) by leveraging publicly available documentation. After getting a basic understanding of apis let’s now try to find these api endpoints and exploit them using their documentation. we will be using portswigger’s lab to see the same in action. Public facing api documentation is often overlooked by devs and testers — but not by attackers. this lab proves how “helpful” docs can turn into a red carpet for exploitation. To use burp suite community, open chrome and paste the lab's url. put in the credential wiener:peter. change the email address to test@gmail or anything you wish. in proxy > http history, right click the patch api user wiener request and select send to repeater. We’re asked to delete the user “carlos” using the api exposed by this web application. we find the documentation for the api via api and see that we can delete a user by sending a delete request to api user username. we must be authenticated in order to make requests to the api.
