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…

Cross-Site Script Inclusion (XSSI): The Silent Data Thief

ByAdil

Introduction Cross-Site Script Inclusion (XSSI) is one of the lesser-known web vulnerabilities, yet its impact can be devastating when ignored. While most developers are familiar with Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), XSSI often flies under the radar. If you are putting sensitive data in your JavaScript files, an attacker is probably already…
