Test gRPC / Protocol Buffers APIs — reflection, method enumeration, authz, and injection. Load on gRPC services (HTTP/2, content-type application/grpc, .proto files, ports like 50051), grpc-web, or "protobuf". Signals: grpc, protobuf, reflection service, ServerReflection.
Overview
gRPC / Protobuf API attacks
When it applies
The target exposes gRPC (or grpc-web). Binary framing over HTTP/2 makes it feel opaque, but the same authz/injection bugs apply — and server reflection often hands you the whole API.
Why it works
gRPC methods are RPCs with typed messages; security still lives per-method. Reflection (if on) exposes every service/method, and teams frequently skip auth on internal-looking RPCs or trust the client-generated stubs to enforce access.
Method
- Enumerate via reflection:
grpcurl -plaintext host:50051 listthenlist <service>anddescribe <method>;grpcuifor an interactive UI. No reflection? Recover.protofrom the client/mobile app or JS (grpc-web). - Call methods directly:
grpcurl -d '{"id":123}' host:port pkg.Service/Method— test BOLA/BFLA by calling privileged methods or swapping object ids with a low-priv token. - Auth testing: replay with/without metadata (the gRPC equivalent of headers/tokens); many servers authenticate the connection but not each method.
- Injection: message fields feed backends — test SQLi/NoSQLi/command injection in string fields.
- grpc-web: it rides HTTP/1.1+base64 — proxy through Burp, decode frames, tamper.
Gotchas
- Reflection off ≠ safe — extract the schema from clients; then
grpcurlwith a local.proto. - Binary framing hides bugs from scanners; manual method-by-method testing is the win.
- HTTP/2 + TLS: use
-plaintextonly when the service is plaintext; otherwise pass certs.
Verify success
Call a method your role shouldn't reach, read/modify another object, or land an injection — proving per-method authz or input handling is broken.

# gRPC / Protobuf API attacks
## When it applies
The target exposes gRPC (or grpc-web). Binary framing over HTTP/2 makes it feel opaque, but the
same authz/injection bugs apply — and server reflection often hands you the whole API.
## Why it works
gRPC methods are RPCs with typed messages; security still lives per-method. Reflection (if on)
exposes every service/method, and teams frequently skip auth on internal-looking RPCs or trust
the client-generated stubs to enforce access.
## Method
1. **Enumerate via reflection**: `grpcurl -plaintext host:50051 list` then `list <service>` and
`describe <method>`; `grpcui` for an interactive UI. No reflection? Recover `.proto` from the
client/mobile app or JS (grpc-web).
2. **Call methods directly**: `grpcurl -d '{"id":123}' host:port pkg.Service/Method` — test
BOLA/BFLA by calling privileged methods or swapping object ids with a low-priv token.
3. **Auth testing**: replay with/without metadata (the gRPC equivalent of headers/tokens); many
servers authenticate the connection but not each method.
4. **Injection**: message fields feed backends — test SQLi/NoSQLi/command injection in string fields.
5. **grpc-web**: it rides HTTP/1.1+base64 — proxy through Burp, decode frames, tamper.
## Gotchas
- Reflection off ≠ safe — extract the schema from clients; then `grpcurl` with a local `.proto`.
- Binary framing hides bugs from scanners; manual method-by-method testing is the win.
- HTTP/2 + TLS: use `-plaintext` only when the service is plaintext; otherwise pass certs.
## Verify success
Call a method your role shouldn't reach, read/modify another object, or land an injection —
proving per-method authz or input handling is broken.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Start with one small task
- 1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
- 2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
- 3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
