Web Application Scanner
Focused on web apps and APIs, attacking OWASP Top 10 risks
Authenticated dynamic analysis for web apps, SPAs, and APIs. From OWASP Top 10 risks to vulnerable components, get precise findings with proof-of-concept evidence.
- DAST for JavaScript-heavy single page apps
- OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS and HIPAA profiles
- Automated proof-of-concept generation
What this module does
From the OWASP Top 10 risks to vulnerable web app components and APIs, PentestBX Web App Scanning offers a thorough and precise vulnerability assessment. Achieve unified visibility into IT and web application vulnerabilities to enhance operational efficiency.
Our comprehensive approach includes multiple layers of protection to safeguard your application from a wide range of cyber threats. Phishing detection identifies and blocks phishing attempts targeting your users by analysing traffic patterns, content, and links.
Malware detection scans your web application for malicious software — viruses, trojans, spyware, and ransomware — that could harm your system or steal sensitive information, maintaining the integrity of your application.
Regular vulnerability scanning identifies weaknesses such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Detailed reports provide insight and remediation steps, while real-time threat monitoring continuously observes your application so you can respond swiftly to potential breaches.

Application overview
Vulnerability trends per application, severity distribution and the current security grade.
Everything in Web Application
Each capability is available on its own or combined with the other modules in a single subscription.
Basic Reporting
Transforms web application scan results into clear, configurable reports covering severity, affected endpoints, proof-of-concept details, remediation steps, and reference links. Downloadable as PDF/HTML/XLS and accessible via the API for ticketing and SIEM integration.
Notification
Delivers real-time alerts for critical web findings, failed scans, or authentication problems via email, webhooks, and collaboration channels. Thresholds and recipient lists can be customised per application or environment.
Scheduling Scanning
Scheduled scans can run hourly, daily, weekly, or as custom scheduled jobs. A full history of scans and scheduled tasks is maintained.
Report Compare
Compares web scan runs to highlight new, resolved, and regressed vulnerabilities across endpoints and APIs. Filterable by CWE/CVE, affected URL patterns, severity, and OWASP category — ideal for SLA tracking and remediation progress reports.
Web Application Scanning
Crawling and authenticated dynamic analysis (DAST) across web apps and APIs, including JavaScript-heavy single-page applications. Covers form and session handling, DOM and reflected XSS, SQL/NoSQL injection, CSRF, open redirect discovery, API endpoint fuzzing, and automated proof-of-concept generation.
OWASP / PCI / HIPAA
Compliance-focused scanning and reporting profiles tailored to OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, and HIPAA requirements. Compliance modules map findings to specific control items, produce auditor-ready evidence bundles, and offer prioritised remediation guidance.
Web Credential Scan
Authenticated web scans using supplied credentials (form-based, token-based, OAuth/SAML) validate access-controlled functionality and uncover authorisation flaws. Credentials are secured in a vault with audit trails; authenticated scans reveal business-logic and privilege escalation issues invisible to unauthenticated checks.
