:mastodon: Mike Amundsen<p>Wallarm Releases 2025 API ThreatStats Report, Revealing that APIs are the Predominant Attack Surface </p><p><a href="https://buff.ly/4aEd2fo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">buff.ly/4aEd2fo</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>"Wallarm's researchers tracked 439 AI-related CVEs, a staggering 1,025% increase from the prior year. Nearly all (99%) were directly tied to APIs, including injection flaws, misconfigurations, and new memory corruption vulnerabilities stemming from AI's reliance on high-performance binary APIs."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/api360" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>api360</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/agenticAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>agenticAI</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/apiSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apiSecurity</span></a></p>

Katie Paxton-Fear (InsiderPhD)<p>The biggest mistake I see in API security will probably surprise you... Whether in offensive security or defending APIs, most teams make one fundamental mistake that leaves their APIs vulnerable, they forget that APIs are web applications. <br> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/apisecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apisecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/apihacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apihacking</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/apis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>apis</span></a></p>

Katie Paxton-Fear (InsiderPhD)<p>API keys grant access, but if compromised, they're open doors for attackers. But fear not regularly rotating keys and limiting scope can help minimize the damage, find out more in this blog <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DevSecOps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DevSecOps</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/APISecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APISecurity</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.traceable.ai/blog-post/dizzy-keys-why-api-key-rotation-matters" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">traceable.ai/blog-post/dizzy-k</span><span class="invisible">eys-why-api-key-rotation-matters</span></a></p>
