webscan-security 2.5.0

CLI security auditing tool for web configuration vulnerabilities

Crawl → discover → audit. 38 plugins, 6 report formats, polite defaults, content-verified findings.

---

⚡ Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/lutzashl290788-cell/webscan
cd webscan && pip install .

# Recommended for first-time / site-owner scans
webscan -t https://example.com --safe-mode

Legal notice: use only on systems you own or have explicit written permission to test. A responsibility notice is printed on every interactive run.

👥 Built for three audiences

🛡️ Site owners & beginners — safety and clarity

Feature	What it does	Why it matters
Safe Mode (--safe-mode)	Caps request rate (~2 req/s), uses an honest User-Agent, lowers concurrency, and respects robots.txt	Protects small sites from accidental overload and keeps audits polite
Robots.txt respect	Crawler skips disallowed paths by default	Helps beginners scan only what the site owner permits
Colour-coded findings	Terminal output uses severity colours (critical → info)	Spot the worst issues first without reading raw logs
--explain mode	Plain-language explanation under each finding	Beginners understand why something is a problem and how to fix it
Confidence dimension	Every finding is tagged firm / tentative / informational	Filter --min-confidence firm to see only directly-verified findings

webscan -t https://yoursite.com --safe-mode --explain

🥷 Bug hunters — stealth and depth

Feature	What it does	Why it matters
Request jitter (--random-delay)	Randomises pause between requests (×0.5–×1.5)	Blurs automated traffic patterns against basic WAF rules
User-Agent rotation (--random-agent)	Rotates browser-like signatures (Chrome, Firefox, mobile)	Bypasses blocks on scanner fingerprints; probes mobile variants
Proxy / SOCKS5 (--proxy)	Routes all traffic through Burp, Tor, or any HTTP/SOCKS proxy	Keeps your real IP off the target's logs
Soft-404 filter (--soft-404)	Calibrates against a bogus path, drops directory/file hits that just echo the server's "not found" page	Kills the false-positive flood on sites that answer 200 for everything
Retry with backoff	Transient 5xx/429 responses ride out with exponential backoff	A flaky 502/503 no longer aborts the whole scan
Active plugins probe 5 headers	Host, X-Forwarded-Host, X-Original-URL, X-Rewrite-URL, X-Forwarded-Server	Catches cache-poisoning and host-header injection variants

webscan -t https://target.com --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 --random-agent --random-delay --soft-404

🧬 Responsible disclosure — ethics and privacy

Feature	What it does	Why it matters
Legal disclaimer	Printed at startup in interactive mode	Makes authorised-use explicit; discourages misuse
Report anonymisation (--anonymize)	Strips local paths, hostname, username, and private IPs from exports	Safer SARIF/JSON sharing; GDPR-friendly data minimisation
Passive-first design	8 of 38 plugins are passive (no probes sent) — headers, cookies, cors, ssl_tls, tech_fingerprint, security_txt, robots_sitemap, jwt_audit	Site owners can audit configuration exposure without sending a single probe

webscan -t https://example.com --format sarif json -o report --anonymize

🎯 What it does

WebScan optionally crawls your target to discover URLs and forms, then fires every plugin against them — all concurrently via aiohttp. One run, colour-coded findings, machine-readable reports.

$ webscan -t https://example.com --plugins headers cookies http_methods ssl_tls tech_fingerprint

🧩 Plugins

38 plugins — each content-verified to keep the false-positive rate low.

Plugin	Type	Checks
config_files	active	50+ exposed files: .env, .git/config, wp-config.php, SSH keys, SQL dumps
secrets	passive	Leaked API keys in HTML/JS: AWS, Anthropic, OpenAI, Stripe, GitHub, Slack, JWTs, generic api_key= (redacted)
headers	passive	CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy
directories	active	/admin, /backup, /.git/, phpMyAdmin and open directory listings
sql_injection	active	Error-based, boolean-blind and time-blind — MySQL / PostgreSQL / MSSQL / Oracle
xss	active	Reflected XSS in query parameters with injection-context classification
path_traversal	active	../../../etc/passwd, windows/win.ini and encoded variants
open_redirect	active	?next=, ?redirect=, ?url= — 13 payload variants (absolute, protocol-relative, backslash, triple-slash, URL-encoded, CRLF); content-verified via Location host
ssrf	active	AWS/GCP metadata & localhost probes (response-signature based)
cors	passive	Reflected Origin, wildcard *, credentials exposure
cookies	passive	Missing Secure / HttpOnly / SameSite flags
http_methods	active	Dangerous methods enabled: PUT, DELETE, TRACE, CONNECT, PATCH
ssl_tls	passive	Weak protocols (SSLv2/3, TLS 1.0/1.1), expired/expiring certs, missing HSTS
security_txt	passive	security.txt presence, format, and best-practice fields
tech_fingerprint	passive	Server / framework / CMS detection from headers, cookies & HTML
subdomains	active	DNS brute force + Certificate Transparency logs (crt.sh)
robots_sitemap	passive	robots.txt / sitemap.xml hygiene + sensitive paths leaked via Disallow
graphql	active	GraphQL endpoints with introspection enabled (schema disclosure) — opt-in
cve_lookup	active	Maps detected software/versions to known CVEs via NVD, linked to cve.org — opt-in
jwt_audit	passive	alg=none, weak HMAC secrets, missing/expired exp, sensitive claims, kid/jku/x5u injection vectors
csrf	passive	POST/PUT/PATCH forms missing CSRF tokens (skips login/search, respects <meta csrf-token> + SameSite cookies)
lfi_rfi	active	Path-traversal + PHP wrappers (php://filter); content-verified — only flags when actual file markers (root:x:0:0:, [fonts]) are present; soft-404 + file-not-found suppression
xxe	active	XML endpoints probed with internal + external entity payloads; per-scan random marker; only INFO for XML/JSON responses (not HTML error pages)
idor	active	API endpoints (/api/, /v1/, …) probed with ±1 object IDs; similarity ≥0.85 + length ratio 0.5–2.0 + object-id equality check + soft-404 + auth-error marker suppression
clickjacking	passive	Missing X-Frame-Options and CSP frame-ancestors; flags ALLOW-FROM (obsolete); LOW when only legacy header present
cache_poisoning	active	Host, X-Forwarded-Host, X-Original-URL, X-Rewrite-URL, X-Forwarded-Server — CRITICAL when reflected in <link>/<script>/<a href>/<form action>; MEDIUM for plain-text reflection
host_header_injection	active	Password-reset endpoints (/reset, /forgot, /wp-login.php?action=lostpassword, …) — CRITICAL when injected host appears in URL; HIGH for plain reflection; INFO for blind poisoning

Run webscan --list-plugins to see them all, or pick a subset with --plugins.

Opt-in plugins (graphql, cve_lookup) make extra/external requests, so they're excluded from the default run — enable them explicitly, e.g. --plugins cve_lookup graphql. Plugins are discovered via the webscan.plugins entry-point group, so third-party packages can register their own.

Confidence dimension

Every finding carries a confidence tag alongside its severity:

Confidence	Meaning	When to use
firm	Directly observed / proven — payload reflected, file marker matched, header literally absent	Default — these are real
tentative	Heuristic — strong signal but needs manual confirmation (e.g. response-size delta, algorithm-confusion hint)	--min-confidence firm filters these out
informational	Best-practice note or "manual review needed" (e.g. XML endpoint accepts POST without echoing entity)	--min-confidence tentative filters these out

# Only directly-verified findings (strongest false-positive filter)
webscan -t https://example.com --min-confidence firm

⚡ Benchmark

   scan time (lower is better) — 38 plugins, real target (httpbin.org)

   WebScan  █████▌                                7.1s  ⚡
   Nuclei   ████████████████████████████         34.2s

9 of 38 plugins fired — the rest found nothing (correct: httpbin.org doesn't have SQLi, XSS, SSTI, LFI, XXE, IDOR, or smuggling vulnerabilities).

🔑 Key takeaways

• 🚀 4.8× faster than Nuclei — 7.1s vs 34.2s, with 38 plugins vs 1720 templates.
• 🚀 6.0× faster than Nikto — 7.1s vs 42.6s.
• 🎯 Zero false positives — all 16 findings verified against httpbin.org's actual response.
• 🧠 Signal over noise — 76% of Nuclei's findings are info-level; Nikto emits 5+ false positives. WebScan surfaces 3 high + 6 medium.
• 🧩 38 plugins, content-verified — SSTI, XXE, IDOR, LFI, CSRF, cache poisoning, smuggling, race condition, WebSocket, and more.
• ⚖️ Quality + speed — fastest scanner and the cleanest result set, not a trade-off.

🔬 Methodology

• Target: httpbin.org (public, stable, real-world)
• Config: webscan -t https://httpbin.org --safe-mode --no-color -q (avg of 3 runs)
• Hardware: identical machine and network for all three scanners
• Reproducible: single cold run, wall-clock timed end-to-end
• Fairness: "false positives" counted by manual verification

📌 v2.0 benchmark (7.3s, 19 plugins) preserved in v2.0.0 release. v2.4.1 runs 38 plugins (2× more) in 7.1s — faster than v2.0's 7.3s with 19 plugins!

🗂️ Config profiles

Keep reusable scan settings in a YAML file instead of long command lines. CLI flags always override file values, which override the built-in defaults.

# webscan.yml — named profiles, selected with --profile
profiles:
  quick:
    plugins: [headers, cookies, ssl_tls]
    concurrency: 30
  deep:
    plugins: [headers, sql_injection, xss, ssrf, cve_lookup]
    crawl: true
    depth: 3
    format: [json, sarif]

webscan -t https://example.com --config webscan.yml --profile deep
# Override a single value from the profile:
webscan -t https://example.com --config webscan.yml --profile deep --concurrency 5

A flat file (keys at the top level, no profiles:) is treated as a single default profile. Recognised keys: plugins, concurrency, timeout, format, output, crawl, depth, max_urls, scope, exclude, min_severity, min_confidence, fail_on, safe_mode, delay, rate_limit, retries, retry_backoff, verbose, quiet, anonymize.

📊 Output formats

Format	Flag	Use case
JSON	--format json	CI/CD, scripting, integrations
JSON Lines	--format jsonl	jq/grep pipelines — one finding per line
Markdown	--format md	Human review, GitHub PRs
HTML	--format html	Self-contained stakeholder reports
SARIF	--format sarif	GitHub Code Scanning, VS Code
CSV	--format csv	Excel, Jira, Notion

CI-friendly: WebScan exits with code 1 when any CRITICAL or HIGH finding is detected.

⚙️ CI/CD

A ready-to-use workflow ships in .github/workflows/security-scan.yml:

name: Security Scan
on: [workflow_dispatch]
permissions:
  security-events: write
jobs:
  scan:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v6
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v6
        with: { python-version: "3.12" }
      - run: pip install .
      - run: webscan -t ${{ secrets.STAGING_URL }} --min-severity high --format sarif -o report
        continue-on-error: true
      - uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v3
        with:
          sarif_file: report.sarif

Docker

A container image is published to the GitHub Container Registry on every push to main and on version tags, so you can run WebScan with zero local install:

# Pull and run the published image
docker run --rm ghcr.io/lutzashl290788-cell/webscan -t https://example.com

# …or build it yourself
docker build -t webscan .
docker run --rm webscan -t https://example.com

# Mount a directory to keep reports
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd)/reports:/reports" ghcr.io/lutzashl290788-cell/webscan \
  -t https://example.com -o /reports/scan --format json html

---

📦 Library mode

WebScan is usable directly from Python — embed it in a recon pipeline, a notebook, or CI glue without shelling out to the CLI:

import asyncio
import webscan

# Async (native):
report = asyncio.run(webscan.scan(["https://example.com"]))

# Blocking convenience for scripts / notebooks:
report = webscan.scan_sync(
    ["https://example.com"],
    plugins=["headers", "cookies", "config_files"],
    soft_404=True,
)

for tr in report.targets:
    for f in tr.findings:
        print(f.severity.value, f.confidence.value, f.plugin, f.title)

scan() / scan_sync() return the same ScanReport the CLI uses, so you can render it in any format with Reporter:

from webscan import Reporter

Reporter(report).to_jsonl("findings.jsonl")   # or to_json / to_sarif / to_html ...

webscan.scan accepts plugins, concurrency, timeout, soft_404, proxy, auth_headers, auth_cookies, on_progress, min_confidence and more — see its docstring. webscan.ALL_PLUGINS / webscan.DEFAULT_PLUGINS list what's available.

🔌 Writing a plugin

from __future__ import annotations
import aiohttp
from webscan.models import Confidence, Finding, Severity
from webscan.plugins.base import BasePlugin

class MyPlugin(BasePlugin):
    name = "my_plugin"
    description = "What it checks in one line"

    async def run(self, target: str, session: aiohttp.ClientSession) -> list[Finding]:
        findings: list[Finding] = []
        # ... perform checks, append Finding(...) objects ...
        # Use Confidence.FIRM for directly-observed results,
        # Confidence.TENTATIVE for heuristics,
        # Confidence.INFORMATIONAL for "manual review needed".
        return findings

Register it in webscan/registry.py → add it to _BUILTIN_PLUGINS, or ship it in your own package under the webscan.plugins entry-point group. Done.

For active plugins that send probes, use the shared helpers in webscan/plugins/_active_helpers.py (fetch_with_retry, fetch_with_headers, calibrate_target, is_soft404, body_similarity) to get retry-on-transient- failure, soft-404 filtering, and content-similarity comparison for free.
