Kingdom: Environment

This section includes everything that is outside of the source code but is still critical to the security of the product that is being created. Because the issues covered by this kingdom are not directly related to source code, we separated it from the rest of the kingdoms.

OpenAPI Misconfiguration: Missing Security Schemes

JSON
YAML

Abstract

The OpenAPI specification is missing the securitySchemes definition.

Explanation

The securitySchemes definition specifies the security mechanisms that may be used globally or by specific API operations.

The securitySchemes definition is typically specified under the reusable components object and is referenced globally or by specific operations to dictate security requirements for interaction.

Example 1: The following OpenAPI specification fails to define the securitySchemes definition.


{
    "openapi" : "3.0.3",
    "info" : {
        "title" : "My API",
        "version" : "1.0.0"
    },   
    "components": {
        "schemas": {
        "GeneralError": {
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {            
            ...
            }
        }
}
