Abstract

To address low interface coverage, insufficient automation, and limited detection accuracy in API access control vulnerability detection under complex interactive scenarios, this study developed an automated detection method integrating dynamic behavior chains and session mutation. Multilayer action chains simulated user operation paths to trigger API calls, while a traffic proxy middleware dynamically linked front-end interactions with back-end API invocations to construct interface maps. Role-based and user-based session mutation attack vectors achieved comprehensive vulnerability coverage, and a rule engine combined with a large language model enhanced detection accuracy through collaborative response analysis. Comparative experiments on six mainstream frameworks including ShenYu and APISIX demonstrate: 89.2% interface coverage, successful identification of all 20 known vulnerabilities, and 95.2% detection precision, outperforming other detection tools and proving its effectiveness and superiority. Engineering applications reveal a horizontal privilege escalation vulnerability(CVE-2024-31006) in the SD-WEBUI AI image framework, validating the method's practical utility in complex interactive environments.
