#78 · Frontend DAST Improvements

We've made several improvements to Escape's Frontend DAST to enhance its accuracy and reliability. One key update is the addition of an HTML injection check that helps identify vulnerabilities where an attacker can inject malicious HTML code into a web application.

Usually, this can lead to issues like:

  • Content Manipulation – Attackers can modify the page’s content, affecting how it looks and functions.
  • Phishing Attacks – Malicious forms or fake login pages can be injected to steal user credentials.
  • Session Hijacking – Attackers can insert scripts that steal session cookies.

By adding an HTML injection check to Frontend DAST, the scanner can now detect these vulnerabilities before they become a real threat, helping you secure your applications more effectively.
