FAQPage Schema
How do I run vulnerability scans to detect CVEs and misconfigurations on web applications?

Template-based vulnerability scanning detects CVEs and misconfigurations across web applications and APIs. By using Nuclei templates, it performs targeted checks that reduce manual assessment time and integrate into CI/CD pipelines for proactive remediation.

What is template-based vulnerability scanning and when do I need it for APIs?

Template-based vulnerability scanning applies predefined checks to APIs and infrastructure to detect exposures. You need it to quickly identify vulnerabilities across targets by leveraging standardized templates, replacing manual security assessment with automated detection.

Can I automate vulnerability scanning in CI/CD pipelines for continuous security checks?

Yes, vulnerability scanning supports CI/CD integration and automated template updates for ongoing security checks. You can apply bulk scans with severity filters and tag selection directly within pipelines to ensure continuous security validation across web apps.

Does template-based scanning work for both web apps and infrastructure exposures?

Template-based scanning works across web apps, APIs, and infrastructure to detect misconfigurations and exposures. It applies standardized template data to targets, enabling comprehensive vulnerability detection across different layers of your technology stack.

Do I need up-to-date template data to accurately identify vulnerabilities on targets?

Yes, you need up-to-date Nuclei templates and template data to accurately identify vulnerabilities. Template-based detection relies on current checks to find CVEs and misconfigurations, requiring automated template updates to maintain scanning effectiveness.

What's the best way to filter targeted vulnerability scans by severity?

The best way to filter targeted vulnerability scans is by using severity filters and tag selection within template-based detection. This allows you to run specific checks against web apps and APIs, focusing remediation efforts on critical exposures.
