Overview

The top ten most critical API security risks, including broken object level authorization and unrestricted resource consumption.

Why it matters for migrations & upgrades

Vibgrate maps a repository's detected purpose onto the standards that apply to it. OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) is relevant to project types: api.

Source

  • Official source: https://owasp.org/API-Security/editions/2023/en/0x11-t10/
  • Version: 2023
  • Machine-readable: yes (markdown format)
  • The full text of this standard is redistributable under cc-by-sa; a hosted machine-readable copy can be added at content-pipeline/hosted/owasp-api-top-10-2023.md.

Requirements

Structured clauses from the published standard.

  • API1:2023Broken Object Level Authorizationshall

    Validate that the caller is authorized to access the specific object id referenced by the request.

  • API2:2023Broken Authenticationshall

    Correctly implement authentication; protect tokens and credential flows.

  • API3:2023Broken Object Property Level Authorizationshall

    Authorize access at the property level; avoid excessive data exposure and mass assignment.

  • API4:2023Unrestricted Resource Consumptionshall

    Enforce rate limiting, quotas, and resource limits.

  • API5:2023Broken Function Level Authorizationshall

    Enforce role/function authorization on every endpoint and method.

  • API6:2023Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flowsshall

    Protect sensitive business flows against automated abuse.

  • API7:2023Server Side Request Forgeryshall

    Validate and restrict server-initiated requests to user-supplied URIs.

  • API8:2023Security Misconfigurationshall

    Harden configuration across the API stack; disable unnecessary features.

  • API9:2023Improper Inventory Managementshall

    Maintain an accurate inventory of API hosts and versions; retire old/debug endpoints.

  • API10:2023Unsafe Consumption of APIsshall

    Validate and sanitize data received from integrated/third-party APIs.

╭──────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ Top Priority Actions │
╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯
 
1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vite 5.4.21 → 8.2.1 in @repo/admin (+2 more)
3 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.
./apps/admin
Vite: 5.4.21 → 8.2.1 (3 majors behind)
./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.10 (3 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.10 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/types
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
 
5. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/database (75% severely outdated)
3 of 4 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/database
@prisma/client: 5.22.0 → 7.9.1 (2 majors behind)
prisma: 5.22.0 → 7.9.1 (2 majors behind)
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
