Ensure the API is secure from unauthorized access, identify potential security vulnerabilities and provide recommendations for mitigation strategies
- Injection vulnerabilities by injecting malicious input data.
- Weak authentication mechanisms such as weak passwords
- Intercept and decrypt token
- Accessing endpoints without the correct authorization
- Verify that unnecessary services and open ports
- Check for components with known vulnerabilities (e.g outdated libraries)
- Monitoring sensitive information logs
- Implement rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks
- Implement robust input validation and sanitization to prevent injection attacks.
- Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential weaknesses.
