Uncover Hidden Risks in Your Live Applications

vulnix0's DAST scanner acts like a persistent, automated penetration tester, probing your running applications to find critical runtime vulnerabilities—like SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)—without ever needing to see your source code.

By safely simulating real-world attacks, our DAST engine exposes flaws that only appear in a production-like environment. It's the essential final check for your CI/CD pipeline and the perfect tool for securing legacy systems and third-party components where code is unavailable.

From Theory to Threat: The Intelligence We Provide

Our DAST engine moves beyond checklists to find real, exploitable flaws. Here’s what we uncovered in a scan of a modern web application:

Security Misconfiguration

We audit your application's security posture at a granular level. Our scanner doesn't just look for what's missing—it analyzes what's there for weaknesses.

  • **Insecure Cookie Found:** Detected the oai-did cookie is missing the `HttpOnly` and `Secure` flags, making it vulnerable to session hijacking via XSS attacks.
  • **Missing Clickjacking Defense:** The critical X-Frame-Options header is not set, leaving users exposed to UI redressing attacks.
Sensitive Information Disclosure

Our active probing crawls your live application to find exposed files and directories that provide attackers with a roadmap of your infrastructure and security contacts.

  • **Security Policy Exposed:** Discovered a publicly accessible security.txt file, revealing your security contacts and policies.
  • **Site Structure Mapped:** Found the sitemap.xml file, which lists application paths that may not be intended for public discovery.
Security Control Validation

Finding vulnerabilities is only half the battle. Our DAST engine also validates that your security controls are working as expected under real-world conditions.

  • **Bot Management Confirmed:** Automated requests were consistently blocked with a 403 Forbidden, validating the effectiveness of the WAF.
  • **Strong HSTS Policy:** Verified that the Strict-Transport-Security header is correctly implemented with preload, protecting against downgrade attacks.
