Pentesting a payment API is typically assignment for our team, because the founder of binsec GmbH have a strong working background in the payment area. Checking for typical OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities is the basis of the penetration test, but in this case, we also check for some sort of logical errors that may result in security issues. A good example is checking if it is possible to transfer negative amounts using a normal auth or settle transaction type. Issues like this one happen, because when one thinks about amount limits, sometimes it is only to limit the maximum amount.
In comparison to normal website penetration test, testing a payment API requires a higher manual effort. It involves getting familiar with the API documentation and writing tests for the specific use cases, since many available tools might not work in this case. Nevertheless, having a broad range of experience in this field allows us to still analyse APIs in an adequate time frame.

Penetration Testing
Since 2013, we have been conducting professional penetration tests. All engagements are performed in accordance with international standards and backed by years of operational experience in penetration testing, red teaming, and offensive security. Originally rooted in the payment, finance, and banking sector, we bring extensive experience in highly regulated and security-critical environments.
As a specialized provider for professional penetration testing, we clearly distinguish between vulnerability scans and actual penetration testing. Tools are used selectively and interpreted within a clear methodology. However, decisive insights usually result from structured manual identification and analysis. We identify technical and business-critical weaknesses and subsequently assess them in a structured way based on their real-world risk. Looking for a professionally conducted penetration test with traceable results? Then binsec is your partner.
