SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates AI-assisted Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) simulations against codebases without requiring running applications, enabling design-time security assessments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inventory endpoints and routes by static code analysis across common stacks.
  • Walk every OWASP WSTG v4.2 category and generate targeted probes, findings, and remediation guidance.
  • Produce actionable findings grouped by severity for governance, risk assessment, and security reviews.
  • Use Case: Teams can perform a comprehensive security review during development without deploying or containerizing the app.

Quick Start

Run the AI-driven DAST simulation against your codebase to generate actionable OWASP WSTG v4.2 findings

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a DAST security test without deploying the application?

You can run AI-assisted DAST simulations against your codebase using static analysis to inventory endpoints and map OWASP WSTG categories without deploying or containerizing the app.

What is AI-assisted DAST simulation for codebase security validation?

AI-assisted DAST simulation automates security testing by statically analyzing source code and vendored materials to generate targeted probes, map OWASP WSTG v4.2 categories, and produce remediation guidance for design-time reviews.

Can I assess API and web app security during design-time without running the app?

Yes, design-time security assessments are possible by statically analyzing source code to inventory routes and apply OWASP WSTG v4.2 probes, yielding actionable findings grouped by severity for governance and risk assessment.

How do I map OWASP WSTG v4.2 categories to my codebase endpoints?

The simulation walks every OWASP WSTG v4.2 category, uses static code analysis across common stacks to inventory endpoints, and generates targeted probes with remediation guidance for each mapped category.

Does DAST simulation work with static source code instead of runtime environments?

Yes, the simulation requires only static analysis of source code and vendored reference materials to inventory endpoints and produce security findings, completely eliminating the need for a runtime environment.

When should I avoid using AI-driven DAST simulation?

Avoid AI-driven DAST simulation if you require runtime vulnerability validation or active exploitation, as it relies entirely on static code analysis to map OWASP WSTG categories and generate remediation guidance.
