API Rate Limiting Bypass – Lack of Throttling Enables Abuse and DoS

API Rate Limiting Bypass – Lack of Throttling Enables Abuse and DoS

ByAdil

Introduction APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are the backbone of modern web applications, enabling seamless communication between services. However, without proper security measures like rate limiting, APIs become vulnerable to abuse, brute-force attacks, and Denial-of-Service (DoS) threats. This blog explores API rate limiting bypass techniques, the risks of insufficient throttling, and best practices to prevent exploitation. Table of Contents 1….

GraphQL Injection – Poorly Sanitized GraphQL Queries Lead to Data Leaks

GraphQL Injection – Poorly Sanitized GraphQL Queries Lead to Data Leaks

ByAdil

Introduction GraphQL has revolutionized API development by providing a flexible and efficient way to query data. Unlike REST, GraphQL allows clients to request only the data they need, reducing over-fetching and under-fetching issues. However, this flexibility also introduces security risks, particularly GraphQL injection vulnerabilities. When GraphQL queries are not properly sanitized, attackers can manipulate them to access…

Session Replay Attacks: How Attackers Reuse Captured Session Tokens

Session Replay Attacks: How Attackers Reuse Captured Session Tokens

ByAdil

Introduction In today’s digital world, web applications rely heavily on session management to maintain user authentication and state. Session tokens (or session IDs) are used to identify users after login, allowing seamless interaction without repeated authentication. However, if these tokens are intercepted or stolen, attackers can launch session replay attacks—a serious security threat where an attacker…

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Bypass – Flaws in MFA Implementation Allow Attackers to Circumvent It

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) Bypass – Flaws in MFA Implementation Allow Attackers to Circumvent It

ByAdil

Introduction Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is widely regarded as a critical security measure to protect against unauthorized access. By requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification—such as passwords, SMS codes, biometrics, or hardware tokens—MFA significantly reduces the risk of account compromise. However, MFA is not foolproof. Attackers have developed sophisticated techniques to bypass MFA, exploiting…
