Security Misconfiguration (SM)
How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the URL into a variable called "urlVar".
Execute request
The execute section of the template defines the type of request to be executed and provides the details of the request. In this case, it is a single request that modifies the URL by appending "/cy8Ku20LH6V6Yc0q0pJX" to the extracted URL variable.
Validation
The validation section specifies the expected response payload and defines the conditions that need to be met for the validation to pass. In this template, the response payload is expected to contain the strings "Rails.root:" and "Trace". If both strings are present in the response, the validation will pass.
