SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires docker, OWASP ZAP, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the integration of OWASP ZAP for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) in CI/CD pipelines, eliminating the need for manual scans and speeding up the security testing process.

Core Features & Use Cases

CI/CD Integration: Automates DAST scanning using GitHub Actions or GitLab CI.
ZAP Scan Types: Performs baseline, full, and API scans based on the application's requirements.
Quality Gates: Establishes quality gates to block deployments based on scan findings.
Use Case: Integrate this Skill into your CI/CD pipeline to ensure that web applications are scanned for vulnerabilities during the staging phase before production deployment.

Quick Start

Run the skill with the target URL to initiate a baseline scan: zap-baseline.py --target http://staging.example.com.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate DAST scanning with OWASP ZAP in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

Automating DAST scanning with OWASP ZAP in a CI/CD pipeline involves configuring scripts to run scans automatically during staging. This skill supports baseline, full, and API scans to detect vulnerabilities before production deployment.

Can I use OWASP ZAP baseline scans in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI?▼

Yes, you can use OWASP ZAP baseline scans in GitHub Actions or GitLab CI. This skill integrates dynamic scanning into these platforms, allowing you to run baseline scans against a target URL to identify common vulnerabilities.

Do I need Docker to run dynamic application security testing with OWASP ZAP?▼

Yes, you need Docker and OWASP ZAP installed to run this dynamic application security testing. The pipeline integration relies on Docker to containerize and execute the ZAP scans consistently.

What is the best way to block deployments based on security vulnerabilities?▼

The best way to block deployments based on security vulnerabilities is to establish quality gates in your CI/CD pipeline. This skill configures ZAP scan findings to act as quality gates, preventing vulnerable applications from reaching production.

What types of dynamic scans can I run against a staging environment?▼

You can run baseline, full, and API scans against a staging environment. These dynamic application security tests evaluate your running application for vulnerabilities, ensuring security testing occurs before production deployment.

When should I run OWASP ZAP full scans versus baseline scans?▼

Run OWASP ZAP baseline scans for quick checks during development, and full scans for comprehensive vulnerability detection in staging. This skill automates both scan types, allowing you to balance speed and thoroughness based on your pipeline stage.
