How to Prioritize Security Findings on a Public-Facing API

Public APIs may expose sensitive operations even when individual findings have moderate technical severity.

Checks to make

Map each issue to endpoints, required authorization, affected data, abuse potential, and compensating controls. Validate high-impact paths within authorization, group related findings, and sequence fixes by reachable business impact and exposure.
