ItemDescription
Full Fuzzer NameOverflowMapSizeFieldsFuzzer
Log KeyOMSF
DescriptionThis fuzzer will overflow the size of OpenAPI map elements (i.e. elements that have additionalProperties defined). The expectation is that APIs will reject the request as invalid.
Enabled by default?Yes
Target field typesAll map fields
Expected result when fuzzed field is required4XX
Expected result when fuzzed field is optional4XX
Expected result when fuzzed value is not matching field pattern4XX
Fuzzing logicIteratively replaces OpenAPI map elements with maps having size bigger with 10 elements than the maxProperties attribute. If no maxProperties is defined, the fuzzer will send the number of elements defined in the --largeStringsSize argument, which defaults to 40 000 if not provided.
Conditions when this fuzzer will be skippedWhen field is not an OpenAPI map
HTTP methods that will be skippedNone
