Old versions rarely get the same auth, validation, or rate-limit hardening. ## Why it works Teams patch the latest version and leave `/v1` (and `/beta`, `/internal`, dated versions) running for backward compatibility. Those endpoints often skip a fix, lack a new authz check, or expose fields later removed — same data, weaker guard. ## Method 1. **Enumerate versions**: swap the version in path (`/v1`↔`/v2`↔`/v3`), header (`Accept: application/vnd.api+json;version=1`, `X-API-Version`), or subdomain (`api-v1.`, `legacy.`). Fuzz with `ffuf`. 2. **Diff behaviour**: take a request that's now blocked/fixed on the current version and replay it against older ones — missing auth, mass assignment (→ `api-mass-assignment`), BOLA (→ `api-bola`), verbose fields, or no rate limit. 3. **Mine sources for old versions**: mobile apps, JS bundles, wayback, and public API docs often reference deprecated versions still live. 4. **Re-test every known bug per version** — a fix in v2 is often absent in v1. ## Gotchas - A 404 on `/v1` root doesn't mean v1 is gone — test specific known endpoints under it. - Header/media-type versioning is easy to miss vs path versioning — enumerate all three. - Old versions may lack rate limits, enabling brute force the new one blocks. ## Verify success A vulnerability reproducible on an older/undocumented API version that is patched or better-guarded on the current one. ## References OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023) API9; API inventory/versioning guidance.

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.
Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
Repository metadata and review signals are advisory. Popularity, source discovery and successful execution are different facts.
Version reported in registry metadata; check source releases before relying on it.
