Let's start with the understanding of terminology and the introduction of a tool.

What is BLST?

BLST (Business Logic Security Testing) helps us to find broken logic in our API and maps it to its UI. It provides a platform to visualize your API logic flaws and provide solutions to solve them.

What is Cherrybomb?

Cherrybomb is an open-source tool that provides a CLI tool to validate your API specifications. It enables support from OpenAPI and Rust communities. It takes input as OAS (OpenAPI Specification) file and outputs details in a table format with alerts. It gives the exact location of a problem and guides in solving those problems quickly. It also works with logs to find business logic flaws.

There are 3 key features of it:

API Endpoint Mapper: It provides a graphical view of your APIs. It shows how your APIs are interconnected with each other.
Params Table: It provides visualization of your APIs from JSON files. It helps us to document our APIs.
OAS Misconfiguration Checks: It provides detailed information about misconfigured code or parameters. It helps us to avoid unexpected behaviour of API in the development stage.
