API Vulnerabilities

API vulnerabilities are security weaknesses in the application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow different software systems to communicate. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to data or functionalities. Common issues include weak authentication, inadequate data validation, and lack of encryption. When APIs are not properly secured, they can expose sensitive information or allow malicious activities, potentially harming users and organizations. Ensuring robust security measures is essential to protect APIs from such threats.
