ScanTitan is an API vulnerability scanner that reads your OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman spec to map every endpoint, then runs authenticated tests against the full OWASP API Security Top 10, from BOLA and broken authentication to injection and SSRF, with proof for every finding.

An API vulnerability scanner tests your API endpoints for the flaws a generic web crawler never sees: broken authorization, broken authentication, injection, and the rest of the OWASP API Security Top 10. It reads your API specification to map every endpoint and parameter, then tests each one, including those behind a login.
A website scanner crawls links and finds pages. Your API endpoints are not linked from any page, so a crawler walks straight past them. ScanTitan reads your OpenAPI, Swagger, or Postman spec, authenticates as a real user, and tests the authorization logic where most API breaches actually happen.
Whether you ship a REST, GraphQL, SOAP, or gRPC API, ScanTitan gives you attacker-perspective testing with proof for every finding, on demand or on every pull request.
Upload an OpenAPI or Swagger file, a Postman Collection, or point ScanTitan at a GraphQL endpoint, so it maps every documented endpoint, method, and parameter instead of guessing from a crawl.
Add the tokens your API expects, a Bearer JWT, an API key header, or OAuth, so the scanner reaches the protected endpoints where the real flaws live.
Each endpoint is tested against the full OWASP API Security Top 10, from BOLA and BFLA authorization checks to injection, SSRF, and security misconfiguration.
ScanTitan requests objects across user and ID boundaries to find the business-logic flaws, BOLA and BFLA, that a payload-only scanner cannot detect.
Every finding ships with the request and response that confirmed it plus a one-click cURL recreation, so nothing reaches your queue as an unproven guess.
Findings are ranked by severity and exploitability, each with a plain-language fix and a re-scan to verify closure, wired into CI/CD to catch flaws on every pull request.
Real result (placeholder), A fintech shipping a REST API imported its OpenAPI spec and, on the first authenticated scan, found a BOLA flaw on the /accounts/{id} endpoint that returned any user’s balance by changing the ID. Fixed and re-verified in a day, before any bug bounty report.
Most API vulnerabilities live behind the login. An unauthenticated scan sees only the front door, so ScanTitan carries the exact credentials your API expects into every request, a Bearer JWT, an API key, basic auth, or OAuth.
Authenticated scanning is also what makes authorization testing possible: to prove a BOLA flaw, the scanner needs one valid session requesting another user’s object. ScanTitan supports multiple credential sets so it can compare what one role can reach against another, the core mechanic of finding a missing authorization check.
All four styles, REST via OpenAPI or Swagger, a Postman Collection, GraphQL by schema introspection, and SOAP and gRPC, are covered from one scanner, so a mixed API estate does not need four different tools.
Finding an API flaw in production is expensive; finding it on the pull request is nearly free. ScanTitan runs in your CI/CD pipeline so API security testing happens while the code is still in front of the developer who wrote it.
Trigger a scan on every pull request, fail the build on new critical or high findings, and route each one to a ticket in Jira, GitHub, or GitLab with the request, response, and cURL recreation attached. A re-scan after the fix verifies closure.
Shift-left, This turns API security from a gate at the end into a check at every step, the only way a lean team keeps up with an API surface that changes on every deploy.
An API finding you cannot reproduce is a finding your developers will argue with. ScanTitan attaches the exact request and response that triggered each one, plus a cURL recreation, so anyone can reproduce it in seconds.
Every finding carries its OWASP API category and, where applicable, a CWE identifier and CVSS score, so it slots straight into your existing triage. Validated before it reports, not after. Proof-based, not probability-based.
The exact call that triggered the finding, with the response that confirmed it. Reproducible by any developer or auditor.
A ready-to-run command that reproduces the finding, so triage takes seconds instead of a back-and-forth.
Every finding classified by its OWASP API category and CWE with a CVSS score, ready for your existing workflow.
ScanTitan confirms exploitability first, so a lean team gets a short, real list instead of a wall of maybes.
Requests objects across user and ID boundaries to catch endpoints like /orders/1043 that return someone else's data without an ownership check. The number one cause of API breaches.
Tests whether protected endpoints enforce auth, whether JWTs are validated or accept a tampered signature, and whether tokens expire, using the credentials you provide.
Flags endpoints that return internal fields like password hashes or another user's data, and mass assignment where a client can set fields such as isAdmin. OWASP API3.
Attempts admin-only actions as a standard user to find the missing role check, the BFLA flaw (API5) that lets a normal account reach privileged functions.
Tests every documented parameter for SQL injection, OS command injection, code injection, XXE, and Server-Side Request Forgery where an endpoint fetches attacker-controlled URLs.
Checks security headers, CORS policy, verbose errors that leak stack traces, exposed backup files, and HTTP methods that should be disabled. OWASP API8.
Probes missing rate limiting and pagination controls (API4) that let an attacker scrape or overwhelm an endpoint, enabling abuse and denial of service.
Surfaces undocumented endpoints that exist in traffic but never made the spec (API9), like the forgotten v1 still live after v2 shipped. Pairs with ScanTitan attack surface management.
Emerging checks for prompt-injection and data-disclosure flaws in AI-integrated API endpoints, plus unsafe consumption of upstream third-party APIs (API10).
