OpenAPI Specification Drift Detection

Improper Inventory Management (API9:2023) is a key concern highlighted on the OWASP API Security Top 10 list. Poor lifecycle management of API specifications can lead to attacks on vulnerable endpoints.

To combat these concerns, Panoptica introduces OpenAPI specification (OAS) drift detection, leveraging the power of our OAS analysis and API trace generation capabilities to detect:

  • Shadow APIs: Traffic to endpoints not documented in the OpenAPI spec.
  • Zombie API: Traffic to endpoints marked deprecated in the OpenAPI spec.
  • Rogue API: Traffic to endpoints where one or more parameters differ from the OpenAPI spec.
