XSSbase: A professional tool for scanning XSS vulnerabilities.
Project description
XSSbase
XSSbase is a professional tool designed to help web developers scan for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. It automates the process of testing web applications for XSS vulnerabilities by using a set of predefined payloads or custom payloads provided by the user.
Features
- Automated XSS Testing: Scans web applications for XSS vulnerabilities using a list of predefined or user-specified payloads.
- Platform Support: Currently supports Windows.
- Custom Payloads: Allows users to provide their own payloads for testing.
- Error Handling: Handles stale element reference errors gracefully and retries automatically.
- Comprehensive Reports: Provides detailed information about detected XSS vulnerabilities.
- Payload List URL: Displays a URL to a list of useful XSS payloads.
Benefits
- Time-Saving: Automates the tedious process of testing for XSS vulnerabilities, saving developers valuable time.
- Improved Security: Helps in identifying and fixing XSS vulnerabilities, enhancing the overall security of web applications.
- Customizable: Users can use their own payloads for testing, making it highly customizable for specific needs.
Payload Examples
Here are a few sample XSS payloads that XSSbase can use:
<script>alert('XSS')</script><img src=x onerror=alert('XSS')><svg onload=alert('XSS')>"><script>alert('XSS')</script><body onload=alert('XSS')>
For a comprehensive collection of XSS payloads, refer to the payloadbox XSS payload list.

Installation
Currently, XSSbase is only compatible with Windows. To install, use the following command:
pip install xssbase
Usage
Basic Usage
To test a URL for XSS vulnerabilities using the predefined payloads:
xssbase --url <URL>
Using Custom Payloads
To test a URL for XSS vulnerabilities using custom payloads from a file:
xssbase --url <URL> --payload <payload-file.txt>
Example
To test http://example.com for XSS vulnerabilities using predefined payloads:
xssbase --url http://example.com
To test http://example.com for XSS vulnerabilities using payloads from custom-payloads.txt:
xssbase --url http://example.com --payload custom-payloads.txt
Arguments
--url: The URL to test for XSS vulnerabilities (required).
--payload: The file containing custom XSS payloads (optional).
