APISCAN is an API scanner that proactively identifies security risks by testing against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023).
It uses your OpenAPI/Swagger specification to generate realistic attack payloads and detect issues such as Broken Object Le (BOLA),
Broken Authentication, Excessive Data Exposure, and other critical API .
It understands OpenAPI/Swagger, supports multiple authentication flows, provides a plan/ workflow, includes a generic sanitizer/rewrites, and writes HTML artifacts.

APISCAN: AI-assisted API security for specialists.
APISCAN is not a scanner that guesses; it proves.
It tests. It observes. Then models explain the risk with e attached.
That’s how you make AI useful in security.

What is APISCAN

APISCAN focuses on API-specific risks instead of generic web scanning.
It is built for testing APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023), with one module per risk area and HTML reporting suitable for auditors and de.

What's New in v5.0.1

!APISCAN v5.0.1 GUI

Auto Form-Login — Automatic login form detection for crAPI, Juice Shop, and custom apps. HTML form parsing, JSON API detection, token auto-extraction. Use --flow form --login-username ... --login-password ... or the GUI Auto-Detect button.

Crawl — Smart endpoint filters fake paths. --crawl- (on), --no-crawl-, --crawl- balanced|strict, --crawl- N. From 71→4 endpoints on Juice Shop.

Deep Scan Mode — APISCAN_DEEP_SCAN=1 auto-switches to full payloads, high intensity, no quick mode. All injection types including SSTI, LDAP, XXE, RCE with injection_payloads.json.

Expanded Quick Scan — Default scan now covers 9 base tests + 6 injection types (SQL, Path, XSS, NoSQL, LFI, SSTI). Endpoint cap raised from 20→30.

Business Logic Testing — Detects negati, excessi, admin role assignment, and pri escalation via deep scan mode.

Production Ready — Tested against Juice Shop and crAPI. Crash-free: dedup fix for dict payloads, session retry fix for 500 responses, HTML response skip in form detection, error spam suppression.

GUI — Cross-platform Tkinter interface (python apiscan_gui.py) with Target, Authentication, Form Login (Auto-Detect), and Ad tabs. Crawl controls built in.

Chain Mode — Auto-escalates BOLA findings by extracting leaked data (tokens, user IDs, emails, roles) and re-injecting it into other endpoints. --chain-mode with optional --chain-depth 1-3 for recursi escalation chains. Generates api_chain_escalation_report.html.

Real-World Attack Patterns — Detects real-world threat actor TTPs: ShinyHunters unauthenticated data exposure (UNC6040), Salesforce enumeration & Data Loader bulk exfiltration, plus many more attack patterns.

Quick start

Quick mode and full scan

API10 (Unsafe Consumption of APIs) runs in quick mode by default. This keeps normal scans fast by limiting Phase 2 to the most promising endpoints and capping quick SQL testing.

Defaults:

APISCAN_API10_QUICK=1

APISCAN_API10_QUICK_MAX_ENDPOINTS=30

APISCAN_API10_QUICK_SQL_MAX_TESTS=10

APISCAN_API10_QUICK_DIRTRA=8

APISCAN_API10_QUICK_HPP_MAX_PARAMS=3

APISCAN_API10_QUICK_REDIRECT_MAX_TESTS=6

APISCAN_RATE_LIMIT=0

| Mode | Endpoints | Tests/endpoint | Totaal | Tijd |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quick (default) | 30 | ~15 | ~450 | ~3-5 min |
| Deep scan | 15 | ~26 | ~390 | ~25-35 min |

> Deep scan: APISCAN_DEEP_SCAN=1 + optioneel APISCAN_DEEP_MAX_ENDPOINTS=15 (default).
