Syhunt has been a key tool in performing vulnerability scanning on our web applications and APIs, both in terms of efficiency and accuracy. We recently expanded our use of Syhunt to include direct scans of our source code repositories, allowing development to identify security opportunities before releasing new versions. This integration strengthens our secure development workflow, facilitating the identification and mitigation of vulnerabilities early in the software lifecycle.

Features
Deep API Crawler
The Syhunt API scanner maps your entire API attack surface — all endpoints, methods, parameters, and data flows - and uncovers unique vulnerabilities by simulating a wide range of real-world attacks and sending thousands of crafted requests. The scanner offers full support for a variety of API specification formats such as API Blueprint, OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman Collections and beyond.Advanced Injector
Tests for SQL Injection, XSS, File Inclusion and many other API vulnerability classes. While performing a scan, Syhunt injects data in the API endpoints and subsequently analyzes the API response in order to determine if the API code is vulnerable.API Discovery & Management
Continuously identify all APIs — including shadow, orphan, zombie, third-party, and AI endpoints — while maintaining a live inventory with vulnerability testing. Combines SAST, DAST, and log analysis for comprehensive discovery, and integrates seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to track changes over time. The extension Syhunt API Plus (with API Discovery and Management) will be available by the start of 2026.Integrations
The Syhunt API scanner integrates with GitLab and Jenkins for Continuous Integration (CI), JIRA, GitHub and GitLab for issue tracking, Imperva SecureSphere and F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) for virtual vulnerability patching, and more.Code Analysis Extensions
When used from within Syhunt Hybrid, the Syhunt API scanner is able to expand the scope of the API security testing, covering the API source code as well. Supported languages include ASP.NET Core (C#), Java, Node.js, PHP, Python & Ruby.CVSS Support
The Syhunt API scanner comes with full support for the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, an industry standard designed to convey vulnerability severity and help determine urgency and priority of response. When a report is generated, vulnerabilities are sorted by default based on their CVSS3 score.Check for the Top vulnerabilities
The Syhunt API scanner allows you to scan for the top vulnerabilities attackers use against web APIs.
OWASP API Top 10
The OWASP API Top Ten is a list of the most critical API security risks that demand immediate attention. Existing APIs should be reviewed against these risks without delay, as attackers are actively exploiting them. The OWASP Foundation recommends that organizations adopt the API Top Ten as a minimum standard for securing their APIs.CWE Top 25
The CWE Top 25 highlights the most dangerous software weaknesses that can lead to serious security issues. Each entry includes guidance and references to help developers and security teams mitigate these flaws effectively. The list is updated regularly to reflect the evolving threat landscape and is the result of community and industry consensus.CVE & CWE
The Syhunt scanners fully supports CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) & CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration), being able to scan for the top CWE entries related to web applications. Syhunt is also on the Mitre Corporation's CVE-compatible list of products and services. The Mitre Corporation is the author of the standard itself.Compliance Auditing
Syhunt can help your organization address the most pressing compliance issues such as:- Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
- Gramm-Leach-Bliley (GLBA)
- Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard
