VU Scanner

Your comprehensive guide to the platform's capabilities. Learn how to interpret security metrics, leverage AI for remediation, and configure advanced scanning modules.

🔍

SAST (Static Application Security Testing)

Analyze your source code for logic flaws, injection vulnerabilities, and hardcoded secrets without executing the code.

Engine

Advanced Static Analysis.

Visualization

Code snippet highlighting and data flow traces.

Linting

Security best-practice enforcement.

DAST (Dynamic Analysis)

Dynamic Application Security Testing interacts with your running application to find vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL Injection, and misconfigurations.

How it works

We launch a headless browser and proxy to fuzz your endpoints.

Best for

Finding runtime bugs in web apps and APIs.

Key Capabilities

OWASP Top 10 coverage, Auth testing, API fuzzing.

📦

SCA (Dependency Analysis)

Software Composition Analysis scans your package manifests (package.json, requirements.txt) to find known vulnerabilities in open-source libraries.

Supported Ecosystems

NPM (Node), PyPI (Python), Maven (Java), RubyGems.

Database

Google OSV, GitHub Advisory, NVD.

Auto-Fix

AI suggests non-breaking version upgrades.

🐳

Container Security

Scans Docker images and OCI archives for OS-level vulnerabilities (CVEs) in packages like curl, openssl, and glibc.

Scanners

Industry-standard scanners.

Layers

Analyzes base images and application layers separately.

Registries

DockerHub, ACR, ECR, GCR support.

🏗️

IaC (Infrastructure as Code)

Scans Terraform, Kubernetes, and CloudFormation files to detect misconfigurations before they are deployed to the cloud.

Policy Engine

Policy-as-Code Engine.

Rules

Checks for public buckets, unencrypted databases, loose IAM roles.

Shift Left

Catch issues in PRs before merge.
