How does a web assessment detect vulnerable JavaScript libraries?

Many web applications rely on third-party JavaScript libraries to simplify development. While these libraries accelerate development, using outdated or insecure versions can introduce serious security risks. The OWASP Top 10 now includes “Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities” as a critical web application security risk.

Our web application assessment can help you detect JavaScript components with known vulnerabilities, allowing you to remediate potential risks before they are exploited.

Supported JavaScript libraries

The assessment can detect vulnerabilities in most JavaScript libraries. Some of the most common examples include:

  • Ember.js

  • Bootstrap

  • AngularJS

  • jQuery

  • React

Viewing all vulnerability tests

To see all JavaScript library vulnerability tests, search under Vulnerabilities → Vulnerability database in your Security Center.
