| Summary: | Since the middle of the last decade the development of web APIs has skyrocketed and their presence has multiplied, becoming essential. Regrettably, this boom has not been accompanied by the best practices in terms of security. In this document we intend to give a global vision from a security perspective. We have traced the historical evolution of web APIs and analyzed the causes of their current boom and ubiquity. We have listed and detailed their most frequent vulnerabilities and the most common attacks of which they are victims. When possible, we have offered examples of real cases. We have also listed solutions to mitigate or prevent these vulnerabilities in the form of security testing. |
