Web Security Academy alignment with the OWASP Top 10 API vulnerabilities
Summary: PortSwigger published a mapping table aligning its Web Security Academy topics with the OWASP Top 10 API vulnerabilities, noting that while some API risks carry different names, many match existing Academy material. The table pairs each risk with relevant topics, such as broken object level authorization with access control and privilege escalation, and security misconfiguration with CORS, information disclosure, HTTP Host header attacks, and HTTP request smuggling.
Bottom line: The mapping shows that most of the OWASP API Top 10 risks are covered by training material your teams may already have access to, so the gap is less about missing content than about whether anyone has worked through it.
