Global Configuration

Global Configuration is applied universally to all scans (ASM and DAST) across the entire platform. When both Global Configuration and Profile Configuration are defined for a scan, the configurations are merged according to a Profile-override precedence model.

Configuration Merge Behavior

When Global Configuration and Profile Configuration contain overlapping keys, the configurations are merged using a deep merge algorithm similar to Terraform's merge() function. The Profile Configuration takes precedence and completely overrides the Global Configuration value for that specific key. Non-overlapping keys from both configurations are preserved in the final merged configuration.

Merge Example:

Global Configuration:

key_a:
  - abc
  - def

key_b: 42

Profile Configuration:

key_a:
  - ghi

key_c: 1337

Resulting Merged Configuration:

key_a:
  - ghi

key_b: 42
key_c: 1337

In this example, key_a is completely replaced by the Profile Configuration value, while key_b is inherited from Global Configuration and key_c is added from Profile Configuration.

ASM Configuration

ASM scanners are used to identify assets to add to the Escape Platform.

Alongside discovery, the ASM scanners will also execute surface scanning on the assets to provide a glance of the asset risks.

Configuration reference

Fields

CustomScalarConfig

Property Type Required Description
description string The description of the scalar.
examples List[string] * Sample values for the scalar (used in the explore phase as default values).
ignored_names List[string] * Names to ignore for the scalar.
ignored_pattern string Regex to ignore for the scalar.
is_sourceable boolean Use this scalar in the Agentic Exploration of the API.

If true, the scalar will be reinjected during the Agentic Exploration of the API.
names List[string] * Possible names for the scalar.
parents List[ScalarParent] * Root type the scalar is compatible with.
pattern string Potential regex-friendly values to match the scalar value.
raise_on_commit boolean Mark this scalar as non-commitable.

If escape find this scalar in a git repository, an issue will be raised.
raise_on_exposure boolean Mark this scalar as non-exposable.

If escape find this scalar in any HTTP requests, an issue will be raised.
sensitivity ScalarSensitivity Data sensitivity level.

Values MEDIUM and HIGH will serve to raise Sensitive Data issues in Escape.
strategy MatchingStrategy The detection strategy.

InferenceConfig

Inference configures how escape will detect secrets exposed by the API or in files.

The inference is also used to reinject IDs in the DAST scanners.

Property Type Required Description
null_is_unauthenticated boolean Consider empty API responses as unauthenticated.

To improve error inference, if your API always returns a response but without data when the user is unauthenticated, set this to true.
scalars Dict[CustomScalarConfig] The user's defined scalars.

NetworkConfig

Property Type Required Description
cancel_unhealthy_scan_after integer The maximum time in seconds to wait for the scan to be healthy before canceling it.
custom_headers Dict[string, List[string]] Custom headers to add to the requests.
escape_user boolean Add the X-Escape-User header to the requests. Legacy attribute, keeping it for backward compatibility.
parallel_requests integer The maximum number of parallel requests to send.
request_timeout_s integer The maximum timeout duration for each request (in seconds).
requests_per_second integer The maximum number of request per second (on API level, not crawling level).
sec_escape_user boolean Add the Sec-Escape-User header to the requests. New attribute, used to enable the Sec-Escape-User header for the scan.

PortScannerConfig

Configuration for the port scanner.

Property Type Required Description
ports List[integer] * List of ports to scan. If empty, most common ports will be scanned.

ServiceDiscoveryConfig

Configuration for the service discovery.

Property Type Required Description
base_urls_delimiters List[string] List of delimiters to use to split the crawled URLs into services.

If you want to customize how Escape splits crawled URLs into services, you can use this list.

This is a list of regexes we will be matched against the crawled URLs using a regex match.
Then the smallest right part of the match will be used as the endpoint, and the left part as the service.
base_urls_wordlist List[string] Wordlist of base URLs to try to discover services on. Eg. /api/v1/
blocklisted_domains List[string] * List of regexes to filter out domains from service discovery.

If you don't want Escape to explore a specific domain, you can skip it here.

Example:
yaml<br>blocklisted_domains:<br> - "auth\.example\.com" # Skip one domain<br> - ".*\.example\.com" # Skip all domains<br> - "auth" # Greedy match: will skip if "auth" is contained in the string<br>
endpoints_wordlist List[string] Wordlist of endpoints to try to discover services on. Eg. /users/
graphql_endpoints_wordlist List[string] Wordlist of GraphQL endpoints to try to discover services on.

If you want to customize how Escape discovers GraphQL services, define a wordlist of endpoints to try.
By default, Escape will try most common GraphQL endpoints.
If multiples endpoints matches, Escape will retain the first one.

SubdomainEnumerationConfig

Property Type Required Description
blocklist List[string] * List of regexes to filter out subdomains from enumeration.

If a subdomain matches one of the regexes, it will not be enumerated.

Example:
yaml<br>blocklist:<br> - "^example\.com$" # Skip one domain<br> - "^.*\.example\.org$" # Skip all domains<br> - "auth" # Greedy match: will skip if "auth" is contained in the string<br>
