Automated Testing of Broken Authentication Vulnerabilities in Web APIs with AuthREST

Automated Testing of Broken Authentication Vulnerabilities in Web APIs with AuthREST

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org • • arxiv.org

arXiv:2509.10320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present AuthREST, an open-source security testing tool targeting broken authentication, one of the most prevalent API security risks in the wild. AuthREST automatically tests web APIs for credential stuffing, password brute forcing, and unchecked token authenticity. Empirical results show that AuthREST is effective in improving web API security. Notably, it uncovered previously unknown authentication vulnerabilitiesin in four public APIs.

Enhancing GraphQL Security by Detecting Malicious Queries Using Large Language Models, Sentence Transformers, and Convolutional Neural Networks

cs.CR updates on arXiv.org • • arxiv.org

arXiv:2508.11711v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: GraphQL's flexibility, while beneficial for efficient data fetching, introduces unique security vulnerabilities that traditional API security mechanisms often fail to address. Malicious GraphQL queries can exploit the language's dynamic nature, leading to denial-of-service attacks, data exfiltration through injection, and other exploits. Existing solutions, such as static analysis, rate limiting, and general-purpose Web Application Firewalls,...
