Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) in APIs
BFLA lets a regular user call admin-only API functions. Here's how the USPS, Peloton, and Coinbase incidents happened — and how to catch it before attackers do.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

API4:2023 shows how a single unbounded request—GraphQL depth, a ReDoS regex, an unthrottled upload—can take down an API or run up a cloud bill.
OWASP's API10:2023 category covers a threat scanners can't see: bots abusing legitimate business flows like checkout and ticketing at scale. Here's how it works.
Third-party APIs get trusted more than user input ever would — and attackers know it. Real breaches from Polyfill.io to 3CX show why that trust is misplaced.
Optus, T-Mobile, Peloton, and USPS were all breached through misconfigured APIs, not exploits. Here's what causes it, what it costs, and how to catch it first.
Undocumented shadow APIs and forgotten zombie endpoints are quietly expanding attack surface. Here's why inventory gaps cause breaches like T-Mobile and Optus.
Broken authentication in API endpoints drove breaches at T-Mobile, Optus, and Peloton. Here's why it keeps happening and how to catch it before attackers do.
Undocumented API endpoints and hidden functionality sit outside vendor documentation entirely — here's where they come from, why attackers find them first, and how to detect them.
Missing rate limiting turned single APIs into 37-million-record breaches at T-Mobile and Optus. Here's why it happens, how attackers exploit it, and how to catch it first.
