What It Does

This dork searches for Swagger UI pages using 'intitle:Swagger UI' combined with 'inurl:swagger' and 'inurl:api-docs' alternatives. Swagger UI provides interactive API documentation that lists all endpoints, request parameters, response formats, and often includes a 'Try it out' feature for live API calls.

Common Use Cases

  • API Security Assessment: Find exposed API documentation to understand endpoint structures and test for authentication weaknesses.
  • Attack Surface Mapping: Discover undocumented or forgotten APIs with Swagger docs that expand the target's attack surface.
  • API Inventory: Catalog all exposed API documentation pages across your organization's web properties.

How to Use Safely

  1. Execute the dork in Google to find exposed Swagger UI documentation pages.
  2. Review the API endpoints, required parameters, and authentication mechanisms.
  3. Check if the 'Try it out' feature allows unauthenticated API calls.
  4. Report exposed API docs and recommend authentication requirements and access restrictions.

Responsible Use Required

This dork should only be used on systems you own or have explicit authorization to test. Unauthorized access to computer systems is illegal. Always follow ethical guidelines and obtain proper permission before testing.
