apiposture-pro 1.0.20

Professional security analysis tool for Python REST APIs with advanced features

ApiPosture Pro

Professional security extension for Python API security scanning

Extends the open-source ApiPosture CLI with advanced security rules, secrets detection, diff mode, historical tracking, and risk scoring.

🔒 100% Local Analysis - Your code never leaves your machine. All scanning is performed locally on your computer or CI/CD runner.

Features

Free Rules (AP001-AP008)

Included automatically — public endpoint detection, missing auth, authorization conflicts, sensitive route keywords, and more.

Pro Rules

ID	Name	Severity
AP009	Broken Authentication	Critical
AP010	Injection Vulnerabilities	High
AP011	Broken Access Control	Critical
AP012	Security Misconfiguration	High
AP013	Vulnerable Components	High
AP014	Hardcoded Secrets (15+ patterns)	Critical
AP015	API Key Exposure	High
AP016	Insecure Dependencies	High

Additional Pro Features

• Risk Scoring — 0–100 scale (severity 50%, exposure 30%, surface area 20%)
• Diff Mode — compare baseline vs current scan
• History Tracking — SQLite-backed scan history with trends

Installation

# Install Pro CLI (includes all free and Pro rules)
pip install apiposture-pro

# Activate your license
apiposture-pro activate XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

# Verify activation
apiposture-pro status

CI/CD: set license via environment variable

export APIPOSTURE_LICENSE_KEY=<your-jwt-token>

Usage

Scan

# Basic scan
apiposture-pro scan /path/to/your/api

# JSON output
apiposture-pro scan /path/to/your/api --output json --file report.json

# Save to history
apiposture-pro scan /path/to/your/api --with-history

# Disable risk score
apiposture-pro scan /path/to/your/api --no-risk-score

Diff Mode

apiposture-pro scan /path/to/api -f baseline.json
# ... make changes ...
apiposture-pro scan /path/to/api -f current.json
apiposture-pro diff baseline.json current.json

History

apiposture-pro history list
apiposture-pro history trend -p /path/to/api
apiposture-pro history show <scan-id>
apiposture-pro history cleanup --days 90

License

apiposture-pro status
apiposture-pro deactivate

Enterprise

Enterprise features require an Enterprise license (APIPOSTURE_LICENSE_KEY or apiposture-pro activate).

Compliance Reports

Generate SOC 2 / ISO 27001 compliance reports mapped to your scan findings:

# Generate PDF + HTML report
apiposture-pro compliance report . --framework soc2 --output both

# Specific framework, operator attribution
apiposture-pro compliance report . --framework iso27001 --output pdf --operator "Acme Corp"

# All frameworks
apiposture-pro compliance report . --framework all --output both

Compliance Score in Scan Output

# Show compliance score alongside risk score
apiposture-pro scan . --comp-framework soc2
apiposture-pro scan . --comp-framework iso27001

Starter Kits

Emit a pre-configured policy file, sample report, and GitHub Actions workflows:

apiposture-pro compliance starter-kit soc2 ./compliance/
apiposture-pro compliance starter-kit iso27001 ./compliance/

Generates: .apiposture-policy.json, sample-report.html, github-actions/apiposture-pr-gate.yml, github-actions/apiposture-weekly-report.yml, README.md.

Policy Enforcement

Place .apiposture-policy.json in your project root (generated by starter-kit or written manually). The scanner reads it automatically and exits with code 1 on violations:

{
  "zero_tolerance": ["AP014", "AP009"],
  "warn": ["AP010", "AP011"]
}

Operator Attribution

apiposture-pro scan . --operator "Security Team"

The operator name is embedded in findings output and scan records.

Audit Trail Export

Export a tamper-evident audit trail from scan history:

# JSON export (stdout)
apiposture-pro history export --format json

# JSON to file
apiposture-pro history export --format json --output-file audit.json

# PDF export
apiposture-pro history export --format pdf --output-file audit-export.pdf

# Specific scan record
apiposture-pro history export --scan-id 42 --format pdf --output-file audit-42.pdf

Integrity Verification

# Verify latest scan record integrity
apiposture-pro verify

# Verify specific scan
apiposture-pro verify --scan-id 42
