Fuzzing

API Fuzzing

Use schema, behaviour and context to test API inputs safely and systematically.

Capability architecture

API Fuzzing: context, validation and evidence.

This capability contributes to the same platform outcome: understanding realistic attacker exposure and proving what matters.

01

Why it matters

  • APIs expose custom code and business logic that static scanners cannot fully predict.
  • Input validation failures often depend on parameter, role, state and sequence context.
  • Fuzzing must be rate-limited, scoped and evidence-driven.
02

ThreatCanary approach

  • Generate tests from OpenAPI specs, observed traffic and endpoint metadata.
  • Fuzz parameters, headers and bodies using safe profiles and configurable intensity.
  • Create observations for anomalous responses, error behaviour, callbacks or sensitive data exposure.
03

What it validates or reveals

  • Injection patterns, parser issues and validation gaps.
  • Response anomalies and unexpected behaviour.
  • Candidate findings for deeper validation.
04

Evidence and outputs

  • A clear explanation of the exposure, affected assets and likely attack path.
  • Reproducible evidence suitable for analysts, developers and risk owners.
  • Prioritisation based on exploitability, business impact, sensitive data and chainability.
  • Owner, remediation and workflow context that can move into Jira, Slack, SIEM or reporting.
