#61 · Escape SPA DAST Now in Beta

Modern web applications demand modern security solutions. That’s why we’re excited to announce Escape’s security platform expansion into single-page application (SPA) security testing.

We're now in closed beta. We're looking for additional users to test it out and provide feedback.

What we built

In addition to its unique, feedback-driven DAST for APIs, Escape now offers Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for SPAs. This is more than just an incremental feature—it’s a powerful extension of our API security platform. Our new front-end DAST is specifically designed to detect vulnerabilities in single page applications and highlight business logic errors.

With Escape’s DAST, you'll be able to identify common static vulnerabilities, CVEs, secret leaks, and outdated or vulnerable dependencies while automatically detecting the APIs consumed by your applications (both internal and third-party) and seamlessly syncing with your existing API security workflows. The tool reinforces our API DAST capabilities by accessing more context and user stories.

What makes Escape's DAST for SPAs stand out

  • Automated Authentication: Simply enter your credentials, and the front end handles the rest. Custom manual authentication is still available.
  • Schema-Driven Precision: Your application schema can be programmatically updated to keep Escape synced with your endpoint’s evolving structure. No manual maintenance required.
  • Tailored for Front-End: While still evolving, Escape leverages our proprietary business logic algorithm, initially designed for APIs, to gain a deeper understanding of single-page applications. This allows us to detect vulnerabilities where traditional tools often struggle, with continuous improvements as we learn more about the unique challenges of front-end security.
  • Automatic API Detection, Mapping, and Security: Escape automatically detects and maps the APIs consumed by your front-end application, including both internal and third-party APIs. We generate specifications for each API and test them for vulnerabilities immediately.
  • Unified Security Insights: Vulnerability data is linked to API insights, giving you a comprehensive view of your attack surface.

Next step - Remediations: As with our DAST for APIs, we plan to customize each remediation code snippet to align with specific frameworks in the near future.
