Exposed API Documentation and Tokens Put Semiconductor Firm at Risk

· Original article ↗

Summary

A security review found publicly accessible API documentation, a Postman workspace that may contain authentication tokens, and an outdated SAP component at a semiconductor company, creating risks of unauthorized access and disruption.

Key points

  • Public Swagger UI files exposed API endpoints, request formats, and authentication details.
  • A public Postman workspace contained API collections that may still have authentication tokens attached, creating impersonation and unauthorized-access risks.
  • The review identified an outdated SAP component affected by CVE-2022-22536, which can cause denial of service when exploited.
  • The article recommends restricting access to API documentation and tools, removing sensitive tokens, and promptly patching outdated systems.
  • The article describes exposure and potential risk; it does not report a confirmed breach.
