    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Detects unauthenticated API endpoints by discovering, parsing, and testing Swagger/OpenAPI specifications for security weaknesses.
    • Automates PII and secret exposure detection using Presidio and regex, enabling efficient identification of sensitive data leaks.
    • Use for security auditing of public APIs to find unprotected endpoints exposing personal or sensitive information.
    • Use for penetration testing teams to automate discovery and testing of API authorization flaws across multiple endpoints.
    • Use for developers integrating security checks into CI pipelines to catch API auth weaknesses before deployment.

    From the README

    Autoswagger is a command-line tool designed to discover, parse, and test for unauthenticated endpoints using Swagger/OpenAPI documentation. It helps identify potential security issues in unprotected endpoints of APIs, such as PII leaks and common secret exposures.

    Please note that this initial release of Autoswagger is by no means complete, and there are some types of specification which the tool does not currently handle. Please feel free to use it as you wish, and extend its detection capabilities or add detection regexes to cover your specific use-case!

    Autoswagger automates the process of finding OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, extracting API endpoints, and systematically testing them for PII exposure, secrets, and large or interesting responses. It leverages Presidio for PII recognition and regex for sensitive key/token detection.
