​
Overview

The Applications module is the control center for managing web applications within the Web Application Scanner (WAS). It enables teams to onboard applications, configure scans, monitor vulnerabilities, and track security posture over time.

​
Applications List

​
Key Features

  • Centralized list of all applications
  • Scan status visibility (Completed, Not Scanned)
  • Last scan tracking
  • Quick access to application-level insights

​
Create Application

​
Configuration

  • Name — Application identifier
  • Description — Context about the application
This allows teams to organize and manage multiple environments (prod, staging, test).

​
Application Dashboard

​
Capabilities

  • Start instant scans
  • Track remediation progress
  • Download scan reports
  • Delete or manage applications

​
Metrics

​
Insights

  • Total vulnerabilities identified
  • Resolution progress tracking
  • Visual security posture overview

​
Requests & URLs (Attack Surface Visibility)

​
What You Get

  • Complete endpoint inventory
  • HTTP method visibility (GET, POST, etc.)
  • Host-level mapping
  • Vulnerability mapping per endpoint
This is where WAS becomes powerful—you’re not just scanning, you’re mapping the attack surface.

​
Vulnerabilities

​
Features

  • Severity-based prioritization (Critical → Info)
  • Status tracking (In Review, Resolved, False Positive)
  • Detection timeline
  • Integration with VM workflows

​
Scan History

​
Includes

  • Scan status
  • Total requests executed
  • Rules applied
  • Vulnerabilities discovered per scan
  • Timeline tracking

​
Scanner Configuration

​
Scan Types

  • Aggressive Scan — Deep, comprehensive testing
  • Quick Scan — Fast vulnerability checks

​
Configuration Options

  • Target URL
  • In-scope URLs
  • Exclusion patterns
  • Authentication script support
  • Scan profile selection
This enables precise and controlled scanning of complex applications.

​
Scan Scheduling & Synchronization

​
Scheduling Options

  • One-time
  • Hourly
  • Daily
  • Weekly
  • Monthly

​
Automation

  • Auto-sync findings to assessments
  • Link vulnerabilities to workflows

​
Scan Rules

​
Capabilities

  • Enable/disable security rules
  • View severity mapping (Critical, High, Medium)
  • Track findings per rule
  • Fine-tune scan behavior

​
Why This Matters

  • Provides complete control over application security testing
  • Maps real attack surface instead of blind scanning
  • Enables precise vulnerability detection with reduced noise
  • Integrates scanning, prioritization, and remediation in one place
