OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 and GraphQL
Blog post from Postman
The OWASP API Security Top 10 2023 Release Candidate highlights the evolving landscape of API security, with a focus on GraphQL due to its growing prevalence among APIs. The updated list includes key vulnerabilities such as Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA), Broken Authentication, and Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF), emphasizing the importance of robust authentication, authorization, and session management practices. Developers are encouraged to implement proper authorization checks and security measures, such as rate limiting and input validation, to mitigate risks associated with API vulnerabilities. Additionally, new categories like Improper Inventory Management and Unsafe Consumption of APIs underscore the need for thorough documentation and cautious interaction with third-party services. As GraphQL continues to rise in prominence, it is crucial for developers to understand these security concerns and adopt best practices to protect their APIs from potential threats.
