Integrate Wapiti with Vulnetix. Crawl and attack web applications to find SQL injection, XSS, XXE, SSRF, open redirects, and 30+ other vulnerability classes, then upload JSON reports.

How Vulnetix compares: better together
Vulnetix does not replace Wapiti. Keep running it. Vulnetix sits on top of Wapiti (and every other scanner you already own) turning disconnected tool outputs into one prioritised, fixable queue.
Wapiti is strongest at its core category and also carries features in Network & Vulnerability Scanners, just as Vulnetix spans categories.
| Capability | Vulnetix | Wapiti |
|---|---|---|
| Security coverage | ||
| SAST (static code analysis) | ✓ Built-in rules + Semgrep augmentation | ✗ Avoids source code by design; purely dynamic testing |
| SCA / dependencies | ✓ 40+ ecosystems, transitive graph | ✗ Explicitly no source-code or dependency analysis; black-box only |
| DAST (dynamic testing) | ~ Ingests DAST results; no native dynamic engine | ✓ Core black-box DAST: crawls and fuzzes running apps across 30+ attack modules |
| Container & image | ✓ Image CVEs, base image, Dockerfile | ✗ |
| IaC / misconfiguration | ✓ Terraform, k8s, CloudFormation | ✗ |
| Secret scanning | ✓ 1,000+ rules, source + binary + git history | ✗ |
| Cloud / CSPM | ✓ Cloud-posture findings, compliance tab | ✗ |
| Mobile (MAST) | ~ Ingests mobile scanner output; no native mobile engine | ✗ |
| License compliance | ✓ SPDX, copyleft/AGPL/SSPL policy | ✗ |
| SBOM generation | ✓ CycloneDX 1.7 + SPDX 2.3, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Malware / supply-chain | ✓ De-duplicated corpus + install-time firewall (25+ registries) | ✗ |
| Network / infra vuln | ~ Ingests network scanner output; no native network scanner | ~ Includes TLS/SSL misconfiguration checks against the live target |
| Fuzzing | ✗ Ingests fuzzing crashes; no native fuzzer | ✗ |
| Pentest / bug bounty | ✗ Ingests pentest/bug-bounty findings; not a testing service | ✗ |
| The Vulnetix orchestration layer | ||
| Cross-scanner dedup & one queue (ASPM) | ✓ Correlates every scanner into one prioritised queue with ownership routing | ✗ |
| Exploit-intel prioritisation | ✓ EPSS, CISA KEV, Coalition ESS, CWSS, Vulnetix LEV | ✗ |
| Reachability analysis | ✓ Tree-sitter + CVEAffected; direct/transitive/semantic | ✗ |
| Versioned VEX + audit trail | ✓ Immutable OpenVEX/CycloneDX, cosign-signable | ✗ |
| Safe Harbour autofix | ✓ Resolves + applies the nearest safe version | ✗ |

What Wapiti does well
- Free, open-source black-box scanner with 30+ attack modules covering SQL/XPath/LDAP injection, reflected and persistent XSS, command execution, XXE, CRLF, SSRF and open redirects
- Realistic attacker-style testing: crawls the app, extracts forms and parameters, then fuzzes injection points against the running target
- Detects high-profile CVEs like Log4Shell and Spring4Shell plus TLS misconfigurations, with Wappalyzer-based fingerprinting
- Flexible CLI with authentication handling, proxy support, URL scoping and multi-format reporting
Where Vulnetix adds to it: Wapiti dynamically attacks a live application (SQLi, XSS, SSRF, XXE), testing Vulnetix does not perform, since it has no native DAST or fuzzing engine. Vulnetix ingests and orchestrates Wapiti's results, merging them with SAST, SCA, container, IaC, secrets and malware findings into a single deduplicated queue prioritised by exploit intelligence (EPSS, CISA KEV, Coalition ESS, CWSS, Vulnetix LEV), with reachability, versioned VEX, Safe Harbour autofix and SSVC policy. Complementary: Wapiti runs the dynamic tests, Vulnetix consolidates and prioritises them across the whole program.
No migration, no rip-and-replace. Wapiti keeps doing what it does best; Vulnetix adds the orchestration, exploit-intelligence prioritisation and remediation layer built for the way AppSec works today.
Centralise Wapiti results in Vulnetix
Upload Wapiti JSON, XML, HTML output to the Vulnetix platform to deduplicate findings, prioritise them with EPSS, CISA KEV and Coalition ESS exploit intelligence, and track remediation across every scanner in a single queue.
