Wapiti, the open source web vulnerability scanner that crawls a running application you own and actively probes it for injection, cross site scripting and other flaws.
Wapiti is a dynamic application security testing scanner, a black box tool that tests a live web application from the outside the way an attacker would. Point it at the URL of an application you own or are authorised to test and it crawls the pages and forms, then injects crafted payloads to surface real vulnerabilities: SQL injection, cross site scripting, command and code injection, path traversal, XML external entity, server side request forgery, open redirects, exposed backup files and more. It reports each finding with the request that triggered it, so a team can confirm and fix the flaw rather than guess at it. It runs as a single command with no server, no database and no login: give it a target and a set of attack modules and it writes a report in HTML, JSON or several other formats. Because it drives the application over HTTP it complements static code scanning, catching issues that only appear in the deployed, running system.
It suits application security teams testing their own web apps, engineers adding a scan step to a release pipeline against a staging environment they control, and anyone who wants a self hosted scanner they own inside their own cloud account.
Wapiti has no login and no network service of its own, so what matters is that it is shipped ready to run, honest about having no credential, and safe by default, and cloudimg ships it exactly that way. The pinned Wapiti release is installed into an isolated virtualenv with a simple wapiti command on the path, a first boot service self verifies the scanner on your own instance and records the instance details to a root only note, and a daily timer scans only the targets you explicitly add and are authorised to test. It ships with no target configured, nothing listens on the network, the only remote surface is SSH with your own key, and the image is scanned clean of fixable vulnerabilities before it is sealed. Every deployment comes with a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.
