XSS detection you can trust from the first scan

Accurate results with verified XSS vulnerabilities

Invicti DAST validates cross-site scripting vulnerabilities by safely executing payloads in context, providing proof instead of pattern-matching guesses. This cuts down false positives and gives developers clear evidence that a finding represents a real risk.

Broad coverage across modern applications

The crawling and scanning engines reach deep into complex web applications to uncover reflected XSS, stored XSS, DOM-based XSS, blind XSS, and other attack paths. This ensures reliable coverage across HTML, JavaScript, client-side rendering frameworks, and API-driven workflows.

Automated workflows that scale with your pipeline

Invicti automates XSS scanning across CI/CD pipelines and GitHub workflows while keeping results actionable through the unified Invicti Platform. XSS issues flow directly into triage, correlation, and remediation workflows to reduce manual effort.

Accuracy

Accurate XSS detection with proof, not guesswork

AppSec teams need an XSS scanner that does more than surface all suspicious behavior in a web application. Invicti DAST focuses on runtime verification, using proof-based scanning to validate cross-site scripting vulnerabilities so developers can act with confidence.

Invicti automatically verifies most instances of reflected XSS, stored XSS, DOM-based XSS, and blind XSS through confirmed exploit behavior rather than pattern matching.

Proof-based scanning shows when malicious scripts execute in the user’s browser, which eliminates guesswork and speeds up remediation.

Runtime testing catches XSS issues introduced dynamically through JavaScript, HTML, dependencies, and client-side logic.

Validation reduces noise across the broader security program, strengthening issue handling in the Invicti Application Security Platform.

Coverage

Broad and deep XSS coverage across modern applications

Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities appear in many forms, from encoding gaps in templating systems to user input mishandling in custom functionality. Invicti’s DAST crawling and scanning engines reach deep into complex web applications to surface XSS attacks that would be difficult to detect manually or with basic vulnerability scanners.

The crawler explores each web page, input field, and parameter to exercise functionality and uncover locations where malicious code might execute.

Invicti tests HTML and JavaScript flows, including frameworks that render content dynamically, supporting reliable XSS scanning in modern architectures.

Support for custom payloads helps surface edge cases that pentest teams, bug bounty researchers, and penetration testing workflows care about.

Coverage includes API-driven workflows and hidden routes, also integrating with discovery features on the Invicti Platform to reduce unseen security vulnerability exposure.

Automation

Automated workflows that fit developer and AppSec pipelines

Teams often struggle to automate XSS detection without creating noise or overwhelming developers. DAST on the Invicti Platform is built to automate scanning at scale while keeping results actionable through centralized management, triage, and integration with issue tracking.

Automated XSS detection can run in CI/CD pipelines and GitHub workflows to catch cross-site scripting vulnerabilities early.

Results flow into Invicti ASPM to correlate, prioritize, and manage issues alongside SAST, SCA, and other scan sources.

Integration with WAF automation supports temporary protection for confirmed vulnerabilities until teams can apply proper sanitization and encoding fixes.

Unified orchestration helps reduce manual effort and ties XSS issues to related risks such as SQL injection and other common weaknesses.

What customers say

“For more websites, we now don’t need to go externally for security testing. We can fire up Invicti, run the tests as often as we like, view the scan results, and mitigate to our hearts’ content. As a result, the budget we were spending every year on penetration testing decreased by approximately 60% almost immediately and went down even more the following year, to about 20% of our initial spending.”

—Brian Brackenborough | CISO, Channel 4

“Invicti detected web vulnerabilities that other solutions did not. It is easy to use and set up...”

—Henk-Jan Angerman | Founder, SECWATCH

“I had the opportunity to compare expertise reports with Invicti ones. Invicti was better, finding more breaches.”

—Andy Gambles | Senior Analyst, OECD

“Invicti is the best web application security scanner in terms of price-benefit balance. It is a very stable software, faster than the previous tool we were using and it is relatively free of false positives, which is exactly what we were looking for.”

—Harald Nandke | Principal Consultant, Unify (now Mitel)
