Api Security Audit tools
To help you when you are working on an OpenAPI contract, you can use one of the following tools to do an audit of your contract.
All the reviews are separated on 3 categories:
- OpenAPI Format : Does the contract will well formed and does it follow the best practices.
- Security : Check all about authorization and authentication methods that you have defined
- Data validation : Check if your parameters are well defined to avoid some issues like code injection
And for each category, you will have a rate and the list of the issues related to. Each of them will have a clear explaination to let you understand what is the problem.
Then, with this verification (and all the updates which can be required to have a high rate) you will have one basis for a secure API.
