Qualys Offers Free Trial for Web App Scanning of JavaScript Libraries
Qualys, a leading cybersecurity company, is offering a free trial for its Web Application Scanning (WAS) service. This trial enables users to quickly identify vulnerable web applications using their cloud platform. The service supports detection of popular JavaScript frameworks, which are widely used but can introduce security risks.
Qualys WAS can detect JavaScript libraries such as AngularJS, jQuery, Lodash, Moment.js, React, and Vue.js. Until December 2022, vulnerabilities in these libraries were tracked under QID 150162. However, Qualys has since introduced dedicated QIDs for each library to improve management and tracking of vulnerabilities.
The service provides Information Gathering QIDs to identify JavaScript libraries in use within web applications. While these libraries can enhance performance and ensure cross-browser compatibility, they can also introduce security issues like Cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection. To mitigate these risks, Qualys recommends upgrading to the latest versions and following vendor remediation guidelines.
Qualys Web Application Scanning offers a free trial for detecting JavaScript libraries and associated security vulnerabilities. With JavaScript used in 98% of all websites, this service is crucial for maintaining the security of web applications. By upgrading libraries and following remediation guidelines, users can ensure the security and performance of their web applications.
