Web and API Vulnerability Scanner (Open Beta)
Cloudflare is launching an Open Beta Web and API Vulnerability Scanner for API Shield customers. This Dynamic Application Security Testing platform helps detect Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) vulnerabilities by simulating attacker and owner contexts and testing them against your APIs using real HTTP requests.
Introducing Cloudflare's Web and API Vulnerability Scanner (Open Beta)
Cloudflare is launching the Open Beta of the Web and API Vulnerability Scanner ↗ for all API Shield customers. This new, stateful Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) platform helps teams proactively find logic flaws in their APIs.
The initial release focuses on detecting Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) vulnerabilities by building API call graphs to simulate attacker and owner contexts, then testing these contexts by sending real HTTP requests to your APIs.
The scanner is now available via the Cloudflare API. To scan, set up your target environment, owner and attacker credentials, and upload your OpenAPI file with response schemas. The scanner will be available in the Cloudflare dashboard in a future release.
Access: This feature is only available to API Shield subscribers via the Cloudflare API. We hope you will use the API for programmatic integration into your CI/CD pipelines and security dashboards.
Documentation: Refer to the developer documentation to start scanning your endpoints today.
