See how missing limits on payloads, pagination, and execution times allow attackers to crash your infrastructure or rack up massive cloud bills.
Imagine an all-you-can-eat buffet where one person backs up a dump truck and takes everything, leaving nothing for the other customers and bankrupting the restaurant. In APIs, unrestricted resource consumption happens when endpoints don't enforce strict limits on the size of incoming requests, the number of records returned, or the amount of memory and CPU a process can use.
Real attacks target your wallet and your uptime. Attackers request millions of database rows in a single API call to cause a Denial of Service (DoS), upload massive files to exhaust storage, or trigger complex backend calculations to spike your cloud hosting and infrastructure costs.
