Question
How should third-party API endpoints be scanned when direct access to upload abuse prevention tokens isn't available?
Answer
If direct access to upload abuse prevention tokens isn't available, you can use alternative scanning methods like a ZAP scan. However, make sure you either own the external integration service or have obtained permission from the service owner to perform the scan. This ensures compliance with security review requirements and best practices.
