API Security Agent

Continuously discovers APIs across your infrastructure, tests for logic flaws like BOLA/BFLA, detects data leakage, and blocks abusive traffic patterns.

Live Workflow

Description

The API Security Agent closes the gap between "documented" APIs and reality. Modern microservices sprawl leads to "Zombie APIs" (old versions still online) and "Shadow APIs" (undocumented endpoints). This agent autonomously inventories your entire API estate. More importantly, it acts as an automated red-teamer, sending harmless test traffic to identify Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and other logic flaws that traditional WAFs miss.

How it works?

The agent ingests traffic logs (from gateways or eBPF probes) to build a live OpenAPI spec (Swagger) of your environment. It compares this to your documentation to find discrepancies. During non-peak hours, it runs fuzzing campaigns against non-production environments to test input validation. In production, it monitors for behavioral anomalies—like a single user scraping just the "email" field of 10,000 different user IDs (scraping attack)—and can signal the gateway to rate-limit that specific token.

Key Features

  • Discovery: Finds every API endpoint, including those forgotten dev versions.
  • BOLA Testing: Autonomously tests if User A can access User B's resources by manipulating IDs.
  • Sensitive Data Exposure: Flags APIs returning too much data (e.g., a "User Profile" endpoint returning full password hashes).
  • Rate Limit Enforcement: Intelligent detection of "low and slow" scraping attacks.
  • Shift-Left: Runs API security tests in CI/CD pipeline before deployment.

    • Step by Step

    1
    Observe Taps into traffic mirror or API Gateway logs.
    2
    Catalog Reconstructs the actual API schema including data types.
    3
    Analyze Identifies PII exposure in responses.
    4
    Attack (Simulated) Runs safe exploits against staging environments to prove vulnerabilities.
    5
    Block Updates WAF or Gateway rules to stop active exploitation attempts.

    Available Integrations

  • Gateways: Kong, Apigee, Mulesoft, AWS API Gateway.
  • WAF: Cloudflare, AWS WAF, Akamai.
  • DevOps: Postman, GitLab, Jenkins.

    • *Note: Hunto AI also customizes each agent, integrations, activity, and output as required by the security teams in different industries.*

    Expected Output

  • Inventory: Accurate, auto-updated OpenAPI specs for all services.
  • Vulnerability Report: List of endpoints susceptible to OWASP API Top 10 threats.
  • Abuse Prevention: Automatic blocking of scrapers and account takeovers via API.
  • Compliance: Proof that PII is not being exposed in API payloads unnecessarily.
