Across recent real-world incidents, five issues dominate: broken object-level authorization (BOLA), weak authentication, excessive data exposure, misconfiguration/SSRF, and poor API inventory management. These problems persist because APIs are built to trust requests by default. Until that changes, the same security failures will continue causing large-scale breaches across industries.\n        \n        ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SySK4I0jwuU6AzeawZdYiDqTq8yzBjxJ5qfTpUuAxEo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQxMjY2LzE2ODM1/ODIzNTYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
