Broken API authorization is still exposing sensitive data - so Intruder built a FREE tool to find it.⚡ Three years after the Optus breach - where millions of customer records were stolen via an unauthenticated API - Intruder’s security team is still finding the same flaws, even in S&P 500 companies. These vulnerabilities are so easy to exploit you could teach someone with no technical background to do it in a day. 🤯 That’s why Intruder built Autoswagger - a FREE, open‑source tool that finds unauthenticated API endpoints leaking sensitive data like credentials or PII. Get Autoswagger FREE on GitHub and see the real vulnerabilities Intruder’s security team uncovered when they put it to the test.
