API security
tested from the outside.
Kuality probes your public API endpoints for authentication gaps, missing security headers, verbose error disclosure, and exposed admin or debug routes — the same checks an attacker would run, without credentials or source code access.
Wildcard CORS + no rate limiting creates bruteforce and CSRF risk on authenticated endpoints.
OWASP API Top 10 checks
Kuality probes your public API surface from the outside — the same way an attacker would — without credentials, without source code, and without authentication tokens.
Missing Auth Headers
Checks whether authenticated endpoints return proper 401/403 on unauthenticated requests, or silently return data that should be protected.
CORS Misconfiguration
Validates Cross-Origin Resource Sharing headers. Flags wildcard origins (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) on credentialed endpoints that create CSRF risk.
Verbose Error Disclosure
Detects API endpoints that return stack traces, internal paths, framework versions, or database error strings in error responses.
Rate Limiting Detection
Tests whether endpoints enforce request throttling. Missing rate limits enable credential stuffing, enumeration, and denial-of-service attacks.
Endpoint Discovery
Probes common API path patterns (/api, /v1, /graphql, /admin, /debug) to map the exposed surface before authenticated testing.
Scheduled Rescans
API security gaps are often introduced by new deployments. Schedule weekly rescans and get notified when a new endpoint or misconfiguration appears.
API security is one of 17 checks in Kuality
Run the API scan alongside JavaScript CVEs, security headers, SSL, and supply chain security — all in a single scan, tracked over time, with CI/CD quality gates.
