Secure all API endpoints including shadow APIs
Covers over 30 API threats
Securing Globally Trusted Brands
Bugsmirror MASST is trusted by teams across the industry to ship secure, reliable mobile applications.
The Growing Risk of API Attacks
APIs power modern applications but they’ve also become the most targeted attack surface. Despite this growing risk, many mobile applications still lack a defined API security posture, leaving critical endpoints exposed to exploitation.
Top API Security Threats
Broken Authorization
Weak authorization controls allow attackers to access data or actions beyond their permissions. This includes manipulating user IDs or accessing restricted functions like admin APIs.
Authentication & Credential Exposure
Poor authentication mechanisms and insecure token handling can lead to account takeovers. Exposed API keys, tokens, or credentials, often due to misconfigurations or hardcoding, create critical security gaps.
Data Exposure & Mass Assignment
APIs that return excessive data or fail to restrict object properties can unintentionally leak sensitive information. Mass assignment flaws allow attackers to modify unintended fields, impacting user roles, balances, or system logic.
Unrestricted Resource Consumption
Lack of rate limiting or request controls can lead to abuse, enabling attackers to overload APIs, disrupt services, or automate business logic misuse at scale.
Injection & Malicious Inputs
Improper input validation allows attackers to inject malicious payloads, leading to SQL injection, command execution, or data manipulation.
Shadow & Unmanaged APIs
Undocumented or forgotten APIs operate outside security controls, making them easy targets for attackers to exploit unnoticed.
APILock helps you stay ahead with proactive, interactive API security testing designed for dynamic, cloud-native environments.

How to Perform a Complete Mobile App Security Assessment (Step-by-Step Guide)
A complete mobile app security assessment involves evaluating the application from multiple angles, code, APIs, runtime behaviour, and infrastructure to identify vulnerabilities and mitigate risks before they can be exploited. This step-by-step guide walks you through the entire process, starting from planning and scoping to advanced security testing and runtime protection.
Security Best Practices For Developing Secure Mobile Apps
Mobile applications are a regular part of mobile phone users’ lives. Be it for entertainment, education, business, or other daily activities, people use a lot of mobile apps. Companies interact with their customers & clients via mobile apps. Even governments use many apps to provide services to their citizens. As a result, mobile apps are now an attractive target for those looking to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information or commit fraud. Hence, it has become more important than ever to incorporate the best security into mobile apps. Apps developed with security in mind will safeguard not only a user’s data but also a company’s/government’s reputation.
