Security testing for Rust applications and APIs.
Rust's memory safety eliminates whole classes of low-level bugs, but application-layer security is unaffected: authorization, SSRF, and injection in Rust web services still need the same rigorous testing.
Common Rust pitfalls
Memory safety does not prevent broken access control, SSRF from HTTP clients, SQL injection via string-built queries, or business-logic flaws - these remain the risks to test.
Where to focus
Test authorization across roles and tenants, any URL-fetching features for SSRF, and query construction for injection, just as with any web stack.

FAQ
Does Rust's memory safety make web apps secure?
No. Rust prevents many memory bugs, but application-layer risks - broken authorization, SSRF, injection, and business-logic flaws - are independent of memory safety and require full testing.
