Open Source Python Vulnerability Scanners

Wapiti is a vulnerability scanner for web applications. It currently search vulnerabilities like XSS, SQL and XPath injections, file inclusions, command execution, XXE injections, CRLF injections, Server Side Request Forgery, Open Redirects... It use the Python 3 programming language.

garak checks if an LLM can be made to fail in a way we don't want. garak probes for hallucination, data leakage, prompt injection, misinformation, toxicity generation, jailbreaks, and many other weaknesses. garak's a free tool, we love developing it and are always interested in adding functionality to support applications. garak is a command-line tool, it's developed in Linux and OSX. Just grab it from PyPI and you should be good to go. The standard pip version of garak is updated periodically. garak has its own dependencies, you can to install garak in its own Conda environment. garak needs to know what model to scan, and by default, it'll try all the probes it knows on that model, using the vulnerability detectors recommended by each probe. For each probe loaded, garak will print a progress bar as it generates. Once the generation is complete, a row evaluating the probe's results on each detector is given.

This web application scanner is a powerful tool designed to identify potential security vulnerabilities in websites with full GUI (no need to cli). It currently performs checks for: SQL Injection (SQLi): Detects vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to inject malicious SQL code and manipulate the database. XSS Cross-site-scripting: Detect vulnerability that allow attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Helps discover vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to trick users into performing unintended actions on a website. Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR): Scans for vulnerabilities that might enable attackers to access unauthorized data by manipulating direct object references. Open Ports: Detects open ports on the target web server to understand its potential attack surface. Content Security Policy (CSP): Checks if the website has a properly configured CSP to mitigate XSS and other injection RCE

Flan Scan is a lightweight open-source network vulnerability scanner designed to make it easy to detect exposed services, open ports, and associated vulnerabilities across IP ranges or network segments as part of security audit and compliance workflows. It is essentially a thin wrapper around the widely-used Nmap scanner, augmenting it with scripts and tooling that transform raw Nmap output into vulnerability-focused reports that map detected services to known CVEs, making results more actionable for administrators and auditors. Flan Scan supports automated builds via Docker and can be deployed in containers or Kubernetes clusters, allowing organizations to run scans consistently across distributed environments. Users provide target IPs or CIDR ranges, and the tool orchestrates Nmap scans with version detection and the “vulners” NSE script, collects results, and outputs aggregated reports in formats like LaTeX, markdown, or JSON.

Free and easy to use vulnerability scanner for web server administrators.

RABBIT is a black-box vulnerability scanner framework. Designed to make it easy to program your own plugins in order to satisfy your scanning needs.

The Simple Ubuntu Vulnerability Scanner lets you check an Ubuntu system for vulnerabilities.

This program converts reports from the OpenVAS vulnerability scanner in the Asset Reporting Format (ARF) and generates a .vna file containing assets and risks generated from the ARF report. This file can be imported into the Verinice risk assessment system.
