OWASP Security Scan Details
HostedScan provides two OWASP security scans to meet the needs of every user. Both scans use the OWASP ZAP (Zaproxy) scanner , a leading open source project used by many large players in the security industry. These scans test websites and web apps for OWASP Top 10 risks and more.
The Passive Scan
Loads the pages of a website and checks for vulnerabilities such as cross-domain misconfigurations, insecure cookies, and vulnerable js dependencies (see table below for full list). This scan completes within several minutes.
The Active Scan
Submits forms and makes requests to the web application to test for vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, remote command execution, and cross-site scripting (see table below for full list). The active scan is not destructive, but it may send thousands of requests to a web application while thoroughly testing for all vulnerabilities. Make sure you have permission from the application owner to run this scan. This scan may take up to several hours, depending on the scanned target.
