The Easiest Way to Get Hacked: Open Introspection. #graphql #businesslogic #apisecurity #rbi

The RBI incident (Burger King, Tim Hortons) proves that BLA often results from a cascade of simple flaws, not one complex attack. The key mistake: GraphQL Introspection was enabled. This gave the attacker the full API blueprint - the map needed to find the open registration validation flaw and execute a massive data leak. Action Item: If you have GraphQL, check your production settings now. Disable Introspection. Don't hand the attacker the map to your castle!

The 12 Months of Innovation: How Salt Security Helped Rewrite API & AI Security in 2025

As holiday lights go up and inboxes fill with year-in-review emails, it’s tempting to look back on 2025 as “the year of AI.” But for security teams, it was something more specific – the year APIs, AI agents, and MCP servers collided across the API fabric, expanding the attack surface faster than most organizations could keep up. At Salt Security, we spent 2025 focused on one thing: defending the API action layer where AI, applications, and data intersect.

Securing the AI Frontier: How API Posture Governance Enables NIST AI RMF Compliance

As organizations accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence, from deploying Large Language Models (LLMs) to integrating autonomous agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, risk management has transitioned from a theoretical exercise to a critical business imperative. The NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) has emerged as the standard for managing these risks, offering a structured approach to designing, developing, and deploying trustworthy AI systems.

If You Can't Block It, You Don't Secure It. #mitigation #cyberdefense #apisecurity #blocking

Detection is information; Blocking is mitigation. For Business Logic Abuse, simple detection alerts are not enough. Your tools must be able to actively block those manipulative, stateful attacks in real-time. Furthermore: Stop "one-and-done" security testing! You must continuously tune your testing by adopting an adversary's perspective. Tune your defense as constantly as attackers tune their exploits.

CISO Guide: 3 Steps to Stop Business Logic Abuse in Design #ciso #businesslogic #apisecurity

Fixing Business Logic Abuse starts at the whiteboard, long before code is written. Here is the three-step defense: Map Critical Workflows: Visualize data flows and state transitions for all high-value features. Implement Adversary Emulation: Integrate the hacker's mindset into your process to find flaws early. Test Constantly: Refine and re-test the logic at every phase of the CI/CD pipeline.

What Is API Token Hijacking? Steps to Detect and Stop the Attack

An API token is like a small digital key that tells a system that a user or an app is allowed to act in the system. When this key gets stolen, attackers act as real users and misuse the account. It’s called API token hijacking, and this issue has grown in the last few years. Most companies are not able to detect this problem in time. It’s important for IT/security teams to understand token theft to respond quickly and build stronger protection for future attacks.

2026 API and AI Security Predictions: What Experts Expect in the Year Ahead

This is a predictions blog. We know, we know; everyone does them, and they can get a bit same-y. Chances are, you’re already bored with reading them. So, we’ve decided to do things a little bit differently this year. Instead of bombarding you with just our own predictions, we’ve decided to cast the net far and wide. We’ve spoken to cybersecurity experts from around the world to answer what’s, for us, the most pressing question of all.

React2Shell: The Frontend Vulnerability That Unlocks Your Internal APIs

The cybersecurity world is currently buzzing about React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182), a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affecting React and Next.js. The scale of the threat is massive: researchers have already identified over 77,000 vulnerable IP addresses exposed to the internet, and confirmed that state-sponsored actors and opportunistic crypto miners have already breached at least 30 organizations. But if you look closely, this isn't really a story about React.
