I've successfully created a comprehensive XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) vulnerability testing agent that combines AI-powered analysis with automated payload generation. The system provides an intelligent, user-friendly interface for security professionals to test web applications for XSS vulnerabilities.
- Modern UI: Clean, responsive interface built with React 18.2.0
- Real-time Results: Live updates during testing with loading states
- Tabbed Interface: Organized results display (Overview, Vulnerabilities, AI Analysis)
- Demo Mode: Fully functional demo without requiring API keys
- RESTful API: Clean API endpoints for testing and data retrieval
- Service Integration: Seamless integration with Novita AI and MCP services
- Error Handling: Comprehensive error handling with fallback mechanisms
- Rate Limiting: Built-in protection against abuse
- Intelligent Analysis: Uses GPT-OSS-20B for security analysis
- Context-Aware: Generates testing strategies based on target analysis
- Risk Assessment: Provides confidence scores and risk ratings
- Actionable Recommendations: Specific remediation guidance
- Dynamic Payloads: Real-time XSS payload generation
- Contextual Selection: Payloads tailored to target characteristics
- Fallback System: Built-in payloads when service is unavailable
- API Authentication: Secure integration with API key authentication
- Supports reflected, stored, and DOM-based XSS
- AI-powered testing strategy generation
- Multiple injection point testing (query params, form data, headers)
- Evidence collection and vulnerability confirmation
- Detailed vulnerability reports with severity classification
- AI-generated security analysis and recommendations
- Performance metrics and testing statistics
- Export-ready results format
- Intuitive web interface with guided workflow
- Real-time progress indicators and status updates
- Service health monitoring and status display
- Demo mode for immediate testing without setup
- Built-in ethical usage guidelines and warnings
- Rate limiting to prevent server overload
- Comprehensive logging for audit trails
- Responsible disclosure recommendations

- Runtime: Deno (Val Town platform)
- Backend Framework: Hono 3.11.7
- Frontend: React 18.2.0 with TypeScript
- Styling: TailwindCSS via Twind
- AI Service: Novita AI (GPT-OSS-20B model)
- Payload Service: MCP hosted service
- File Utilities:
readFile,serveFilefor asset serving - HTTP Triggers: Automatic HTTPS endpoints
- Environment Variables: Secure API key management
- Error Handling: Built-in error catching and reporting
- Clear warnings about authorized testing only
- Responsible disclosure guidelines
- Rate limiting and abuse prevention
- Comprehensive audit logging
- Input validation and sanitization
- Secure API key handling via environment variables
- Error handling that doesn't expose sensitive information
- CORS configuration for cross-origin requests
The application includes a fully functional demo mode that showcases all features without requiring API keys:
- Visit the application URL
- Click "๐ฏ Try Demo (No API Keys Required)"
- Explore the complete interface with realistic mock data
With proper API keys configured:
- Set
NOVITA_API_KEYandMCP_API_KEYenvironment variables - Enter a target URL (only test sites you own or have permission to test)
- Select test depth and start the scan
- Review comprehensive results and AI analysis
The system provides detailed vulnerability reports including:
- Vulnerability Details: Payload, location, method, parameters
- Evidence Collection: Proof of successful exploitation
- Severity Classification: Critical, High, Medium, Low risk levels
- AI Analysis: Comprehensive security assessment
- Remediation Guidance: Specific, actionable recommendations
Potential improvements and extensions:
- Advanced Payloads: WAF bypass techniques, encoding variations
- Reporting Formats: PDF export, integration with security tools
- Batch Testing: Multiple URL testing with comparison reports
- Custom Rules: User-defined testing patterns and payloads
- Integration APIs: Webhook notifications, CI/CD pipeline integration
The XSS Testing Agent successfully combines cutting-edge AI technology with practical security testing needs. It provides security professionals with a powerful, intelligent tool for identifying and analyzing XSS vulnerabilities while maintaining ethical standards and user-friendly operation.
The system is production-ready and can be immediately deployed for authorized security testing activities. The demo mode allows for immediate evaluation of capabilities, while the full system provides comprehensive XSS testing with AI-powered insights.
Ready to use: The application is fully functional and can be accessed immediately through the Val Town platform with the demo mode, or with full capabilities once API keys are configured.
