Abstract
Examples relate to detection of email-related vulnerabilities. The examples disclosed herein enable monitoring, at a runtime, application programming interface (API) calls made by a server-based application for the API calls related to at least one of a plurality of email protocols. A request to obtain a first set of data indicating a result of a vulnerability attack may be received from a vulnerability scanner. The examples disclosed herein enable identifying, at the runtime, an API call that has been made based on the vulnerability attack in response to receiving the request. The first set of data may be obtained, at the runtime, based on the API call. The examples disclosed herein further enable providing the first set of data to the vulnerability scanner to detect a vulnerability in the first set of data.
