API Security The Complete Guide To Threats, Methods Tools
API8:2019: Injection
Injection flaws (including SQL injection, NoSQL injection,
and command injection) involve data that is sent to an
interpreter from an untrusted source via a command or
query. Attackers can send malicious data to trick the
interpreter into executing dangerous commands, or allow
the attacker to access data without the necessary
authorization.
GraphQL Security
GraphQL is a query language that describes how clients
can request information via an application programming
interface (API). Developers can use GraphQL syntax to
request specific data and receive it from a single source
or multiple sources. Once a client defines the required
data structure for a request, a server returns data using
that exact structure.
