Fuzzing APIs
About
This skill enables Claude to automatically fuzz test APIs using malformed inputs and boundary values to uncover security vulnerabilities like SQL injection and XSS. Developers should use it when they need to perform security analysis or identify input validation failures in their APIs. It's triggered via the `/fuzz-api` command for comprehensive vulnerability scanning.

Documentation
Overview
This skill allows Claude to conduct automated fuzz testing on REST APIs. It identifies potential security flaws and robustness issues by injecting various malformed inputs, boundary values, and random data.
How It Works
- Input Generation: The skill generates a diverse set of test inputs, including malformed data, boundary values, and random payloads.
- API Interaction: It sends these inputs to the specified API endpoints.
- Result Analysis: It analyzes the API's responses and behavior to identify vulnerabilities, crashes, and unexpected results, such as SQL injection errors or XSS vulnerabilities.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Identify potential security vulnerabilities in an API.
- Test the robustness of an API against unexpected inputs.
- Ensure proper input validation is implemented in an API.
Examples
Example 1: Discovering SQL Injection Vulnerability
User request: "Fuzz test the /users endpoint for SQL injection vulnerabilities."
The skill will:
- Generate SQL injection payloads.
- Send these payloads to the /users endpoint.
- Analyze the API's responses for SQL errors or unexpected behavior indicating a SQL injection vulnerability.
Example 2: Testing Input Validation
User request: "Fuzz test the /products endpoint to check for input validation issues with price and quantity parameters."
The skill will:
- Generate malformed inputs for price and quantity (e.g., negative values, extremely large numbers, non-numeric characters).
- Send these inputs to the /products endpoint.
- Analyze the API's responses for errors or unexpected behavior, indicating input validation failures.
Best Practices
- Specificity: Be specific about the API endpoint or parameters you want to fuzz.
- Context: Provide context about the expected behavior of the API.
- Iteration: Run multiple fuzzing sessions with different input sets for thorough testing.
Integration
This skill can be used in conjunction with other security analysis tools to provide a more comprehensive assessment of an API's security posture. It can also be integrated into a CI/CD pipeline to automate security testing.
