api-security-testing

api-security-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from liuxinye23/CyberStrikeAI. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,417 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A security-testing skill for application programming interfaces, the endpoints software uses to exchange data and actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test tokens and roles, injection defenses, workflow and concurrency rules, API discovery, and information leakage.
Why use it?
It provides checks for authentication, permissions, input handling, business rules, error messages, and sensitive-data exposure.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-security-testing scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

API安全测试

概述

API安全测试是确保API接口安全性的重要环节。本技能提供API安全测试的方法、工具和最佳实践。

测试范围

1. 认证和授权

测试项目:

  • Token有效性验证
  • Token过期处理
  • 权限控制
  • 角色权限验证

2. 输入验证

测试项目:

  • 参数类型验证
  • 数据长度限制
  • 特殊字符处理
  • SQL注入防护
  • XSS防护

3. 业务逻辑

测试项目:

  • 工作流验证
  • 状态转换
  • 并发控制
  • 业务规则

4. 错误处理

测试项目:

  • 错误信息泄露
  • 堆栈跟踪
  • 敏感信息暴露

测试方法

1. API发现

识别API端点:

# 使用目录扫描
gobuster dir -u https://target.com -w api-wordlist.txt

# 使用Burp Suite被动扫描
# 浏览应用,观察API调用

# 分析JavaScript文件
# 查找API端点定义

2. 认证测试

Token测试:

# 测试无效Token
GET /api/user
Authorization: Bearer invalid_token

# 测试过期Token
GET /api/user
Authorization: Bearer expired_token

# 测试无Token
GET /api/user

JWT测试:

# 使用jwt_tool
python jwt_tool.py <JWT_TOKEN>

# 测试算法混淆
python jwt_tool.py <JWT_TOKEN> -X a

# 测试密钥暴力破解
python jwt_tool.py <JWT_TOKEN> -C -d wordlist.txt

3. 授权测试

水平权限:

# 用户A访问用户B的资源
GET /api/user/123
Authorization: Bearer user_a_token

# 应该返回403

垂直权限:

# 普通用户访问管理员接口
GET /api/admin/users
Authorization: Bearer user_token

# 应该返回403

4. 输入验证测试

SQL注入:

POST /api/search
{
  "query": "test' OR '1'='1"
}

命令注入:

POST /api/execute
{
  "command": "ping; id"
}

XXE:

POST /api/parse
Content-Type: application/xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE foo [<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd">]>
<foo>&xxe;</foo>

5. 速率限制测试

测试速率限制:

import requests

for i in range(1000):
    response = requests.get('https://target.com/api/endpoint')
    print(f"Request {i}: {response.status_code}")

工具使用

Postman

创建测试集合:

  1. 导入API文档
  2. 设置认证
  3. 创建测试用例
  4. 运行自动化测试

Burp Suite

API扫描:

  1. 配置API端点
  2. 设置认证
  3. 运行主动扫描
  4. 分析结果

OWASP ZAP

# API扫描
zap-cli quick-scan --self-contained \
  --start-options '-config api.disablekey=true' \
  http://target.com/api

REST-Attacker

# 扫描OpenAPI规范
rest-attacker scan openapi.yaml

常见漏洞

1. 认证绕过

Token验证缺陷:

  • 弱Token生成
  • Token可预测
  • Token不验证签名

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

api-security-testing is a skill published in the GitHub repository liuxinye23/CyberStrikeAI (0 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 1,417 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
