How can an Existing Module created using the API Scan be Updated?

To update an existing module created using an API scan, follow these steps:

• Re-run the Scan: Perform a new vulnerability scan on the module to identify any changes or new vulnerabilities that may have emerged since the last scan.

• Review Results: Analyze the updated scan results to assess newly discovered issues or changes in the module’s security posture.

• Update Code: Modify the module’s code based on the findings. This might involve fixing vulnerabilities, improving input validation, or enhancing authentication and authorization mechanisms.

• Test Changes: Thoroughly test the updated module to ensure that the changes address the vulnerabilities without introducing new issues.

• Document and Deploy: Document the updates and deploy the revised module, ensuring that the updated security measures are properly integrated.

These steps help maintain the module’s security and functionality.
