XSS-Scanner - XSS scanner that detects Cross-Site Scripting vuln

项目说明

XSS Scanner

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is one of the most well known web application . It even has a dedicated chapter in the OWASP Top 10 project and it is a highly chased in bug bounty programs.

The scanner gets a link from the user and scan the website for XSS by injecting malicious scripts at the input place. The injection happens in headless browser named Chromium and controlled by Puppeteer automation.

It works in two steps:
1. Find the target: In this first step, the tool tries to identify all the places at the page including injectable parameters in forms, URLs, headers, etc.
2. Test for XSS: For each place discovered in the previous step, the scanner will try to detect if the parameters are to Cross-Site Scripting. The tool injects a piece of Ja code, including some special HTML characters (>, <, ", ') and it will try to see if they are returned in the response page without sanitization.
If the tool detects at least one , it will return that the website have XSS .
