Implementing API Security Testing with 42Crunch
Overview
42Crunch is an API security platform that combines Shift-Left security testing with Shield-Right runtime protection. It provides API Audit for static security analysis of OpenAPI definitions, API Conformance Scan for dynamic vulnerability detection, and API Protect for real-time threat prevention. The platform integrates into CI/CD pipelines and IDEs to identify OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities before and after deployment.
When to Use
When deploying or configuring implementing api security testing with 42crunch capabilities in your environment
When establishing security controls aligned to compliance requirements
When building or improving security architecture for this domain
When conducting security assessments that require this implementation
Prerequisites
42Crunch platform account (free tier available for evaluation)
OpenAPI Specification (OAS) v2.0, v3.0, or v3.1 definitions for target APIs
IDE with 42Crunch extension (VS Code, IntelliJ, or Eclipse)
CI/CD pipeline (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI)
Running API instance for dynamic scanning (conformance scan)
Node.js or Python environment for CLI tooling
Core Concepts
API Audit (Static Analysis)
API Audit performs static security analysis of OpenAPI definitions without requiring a running API. It evaluates the specification against 300+ security checks organized into categories:
Security Score Categories:
Data Validation : Schema definitions, parameter constraints, response validation
Authentication : Security scheme definitions, scope requirements
Transport Security : Server URL schemes, TLS requirements
Error Handling : Error response definitions, information leakage prevention
Running API Audit via VS Code Extension:
Install the 42Crunch extension from the VS Code marketplace
Open an OpenAPI specification file (YAML or JSON)
Click the security audit icon in the editor toolbar
Review the security score (0-100) and individual findings
Address issues using the inline remediation guidance

API Conformance Scan (Dynamic Testing) The conformance scan dynamically tests a running API against its OpenAPI contract to detect runtime vulnerabilities including OWASP API Security Top 10 issues:
version: "2.0"
scan:
target:
url: https://api.example.com/v1
authentication:
- type: bearer
token: "${API_TOKEN}"
in: header
name: Authorization
settings:
maxScanTime: 3600
requestsPerSecond: 10
followRedirects: false
tests:
owasp:
- bola
- bfla
- injection
- ssrf
- massAssignment
- excessiveDataExposure
Running Conformance Scan via CLI:
npm install -g @42crunch/cicd-cli
42crunch-cli scan \
--api-definition ./openapi.yaml \
--target-url https://api.example.com/v1 \
--token $CRUNCH_TOKEN \
--min-score 70 \
--report-format sarif \
--output scan-report.sarif
CI/CD Pipeline Integration GitHub Actions Integration:

API Protect (Runtime Protection) API Protect deploys as a micro-gateway in front of API endpoints to enforce the OpenAPI contract at runtime:
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: api-protect-config
data:
protection-config.json: |
{
"apiDefinition": "/config/openapi.yaml",
"enforcement": {
"validateRequests": true,
"validateResponses": true,
"blockOnFailure": true,
"logLevel": "warn"
},
"rateLimit": {
"enabled": true,
"requestsPerMinute": 100,
"burstSize": 20
},
"allowlist": {
"contentTypes": ["application/json"],
"methods": ["GET", "POST", "PUT", "DELETE"]
}
}
Remediation Workflow When 42Crunch identifies issues, follow this remediation process:
Triage : Review findings sorted by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
Analyze : Understand the specific security control missing from the OpenAPI definition
Fix : Apply the recommended changes to the specification
Validate : Re-run audit to confirm the score improvement
Deploy : Push the updated specification through the CI/CD pipeline
Common Audit Findings and Fixes:
Finding Severity Fix No authentication defined Critical Add securitySchemes and security requirements Missing input validation High Add type, format, pattern, maxLength constraints Server URL uses HTTP High Change server URLs to HTTPS No error responses defined Medium Add 4xx and 5xx response definitions additionalProperties not restricted Medium Set additionalProperties: false on object schemas Missing rate limiting Medium Add x-rateLimit extension or use API Protect
Key Security Checks 42Crunch evaluates APIs against these critical security areas:
BOLA Prevention : Validates that object-level authorization patterns are defined
BFLA Prevention : Checks for function-level access control definitions
Injection Prevention : Ensures input parameters have proper type/format/pattern constraints
Data Exposure : Verifies response schemas limit returned properties
Security Misconfiguration : Checks authentication schemes, transport security, CORS settings
Mass Assignment : Validates that request bodies use explicit property allowlists
