LAB 363 – Defending Python APIs from Security Misconfiguration (NEW)

Course Overview

This lab provides practical experience in identifying and mitigating Security Misconfiguration vulnerabilities in APIs. These vulnerabilities arise when API components are improperly set up, outdated, or lack essential security controls, leading to unauthorized access or even remote code execution.

The primary solution is to enforce security baseline configurations and conduct regular configuration audits. Through hands-on exercises, developers will work with a virtual environment containing a vulnerable application, gaining real-world experience in securing API deployments.
