api-fuzzing-bug-bounty

api-fuzzing-bug-bounty is a skill for Claude Code from STELIORD/agentic-awesome-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,786 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of api-fuzzing-bug-bounty, MIT.

A guide to testing REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs for security weaknesses. It is intended for authorized bug-bounty or penetration-testing work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan API reconnaissance, fuzz endpoints with varied inputs, test authentication and authorization, and document security findings.
Why use it?
It helps find problems such as authentication bypasses, IDOR, SQL injection, and access to data a user should not see. IDOR means changing an object identifier to access someone else’s object.

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-fuzzing-bug-bounty 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 7d 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 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

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
