Authenticated scanning from behind the login.

Give the scanner a login and it will explore your app the way a real user does. Role-based coverage, SPA and API aware, mapped to PCI DSS 6.4.1, OWASP Top 10, and OWASP API Top 10.

Credentialed Web App Scanning Capabilities

What a modern authenticated web app scan actually needs.

Real logins, real sessions, real JavaScript, real APIs. Coverage that mirrors how your users, and your attackers, actually use the app, all through the CloneGuard platform.

Real Login, Real Session

The scanner authenticates like a person, keeps the session alive, and rotates CSRF and anti-forgery tokens so it stays inside the app for the full run.

Multi-Role Coverage

Run the same target as admin, tenant owner, standard user, and read-only. Surface IDOR, broken access control, and privilege escalation between roles.

SPA & Modern JS Aware

A real browser engine executes JavaScript, waits for XHR and fetch to settle, and follows client-side routes across React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.

REST & GraphQL APIs

Import OpenAPI, Swagger, Postman, or HAR files. Every documented endpoint is fuzzed inside your authenticated session with realistic payloads.

OWASP Top 10 & API Top 10

Injection, broken access control, XSS in authenticated views, SSRF, sensitive data exposure, misconfigured CORS, and business-logic checks are all in scope.

Unified Reporting

Credentialed web app findings live alongside network, PCI ASV, and agent findings in one CloneGuard console with remediation reports and framework-mapped exports.

One Portal, Every Target

Every app, every role, every finding, in the same CloneGuard console.

Credentialed web app scanning is one module inside CloneGuard. Findings live alongside network, PCI ASV, agent, and pentest results so one console tells the whole story of your exposure.

What Credentialed Scanning Finds

Once signed in, the scanner exercises the surface area that only exists for authenticated users, where the highest-severity bugs almost always live.

  • IDOR and broken object-level authorization
  • Privilege escalation between roles
  • Injection and XSS in authenticated forms
  • Sensitive data exposure inside dashboards
  • SSRF from server-side integrations
  • Business-logic flaws in checkout, billing, and admin flows

What an Unauthenticated Scan Misses

An anonymous crawler only sees marketing pages and the login screen. Everything that makes your product a product stays invisible to it.

  • Tenant-scoped dashboards and settings
  • Admin panels and back-office tools
  • APIs that require a valid session or token
  • Multi-step workflows behind the login
  • Authorization checks between user roles
  • State transitions in checkout and billing
How Credentialed Web App Scanning Works

From first login to verified fix, in five steps.

A predictable model your team runs independently, with support a message away for login scripting or scope tuning.

01

Scope

Confirm the target application, environments, user roles, and any APIs you want covered. We keep production and staging cleanly separated.

02

Authenticate

Upload or record a login recipe: form login, SSO, JWT, OAuth service account, or a pre-minted session header. One recipe per role.

03

Crawl & Discover

A real browser walks the authenticated app, executes JavaScript, follows SPA routes, and captures every API call the UI makes.

04

Test

Discovered pages, forms, and endpoints are exercised against OWASP Top 10 and API Top 10 checks, per role, with session and CSRF tokens rotated correctly.

05

Report & Verify

Findings appear in CloneGuard with reproduction steps, evidence, and framework tags. Rescan on demand to confirm the fix.

Every Way Your App Signs Users In

If a person can log in, the scanner can too.

Form login, enterprise SSO, OAuth service accounts, JWTs, or a pre-minted session header. Configure the login recipe once per role and reuse it across every scheduled scan.

Sample login recipe
login:
  url: https://app.example.com/login
  method: form
  fields:
    email: scanner+admin@example.com
    password: ${SECRET_ADMIN_PW}
  success_when: url_contains "/dashboard"
role: admin

Form Login

Username + password · MFA-friendly

SSO & SAML

Okta · Azure AD · Google

OAuth 2.0 / OIDC

Service account · client credentials

Session / Header

Pre-minted cookie · bearer token

Compliance Coverage

Authenticated evidence for the frameworks that matter.

Web app findings are pre-mapped to the controls auditors ask about, including PCI DSS 6.4.1, OWASP ASVS Level 2, and SOC 2 CC7.1. Every result is timestamped, reproducible, and exportable.

Why Credentialed Scanning

Deeper visibility, release-aware coverage, cleaner audits.

See Behind the Login Wall

Most real business logic and most real risk live in authenticated views. Credentialed scanning is the only way to test them at machine speed.

Continuous, Release-Aware

Schedule scans nightly, weekly, or after every deploy so regressions surface in hours, not at the next quarterly pentest.

Role-Aware Findings

Every issue includes the role that reproduced it, so authorization flaws such as IDOR and broken access control are unambiguous.

Evidence Auditors Accept

Reports map findings to PCI DSS, OWASP ASVS, SOC 2, and more, with reproduction steps and timestamps for every result.

Who Runs Credentialed Web App Scanning

Built for teams shipping real, authenticated web products.

SaaS & Product Engineering Teams

Cover every authenticated dashboard, tenant view, and admin panel between manual pentest cycles, without slowing releases.

Financial & Payment Applications

Meet PCI DSS 6.4.1 for authenticated web app testing and give auditors clean, repeatable evidence per role and per environment.

Healthcare & Regulated Portals

Test patient portals, provider dashboards, and back-office tools without exposing PHI, using dedicated test accounts and staging.

E-Commerce & Marketplaces

Exercise the full authenticated funnel, from cart and checkout to seller consoles and admin ops, with role-scoped runs.

New · AI Add-On

An AI assistant that turns authenticated findings into a fix plan your engineers will ship.

Add the Clone Systems AI assistant to your credentialed scans and stop triaging finding by finding. It clusters issues across roles and endpoints, ranks what to fix first, and drafts remediation guidance ready to paste into a PR.

  • Cross-role clustering. The same underlying bug reproduced under multiple roles collapses into one work item with all the evidence attached.
  • Plain-English findings. Every vulnerability is rewritten with the affected endpoint, role, and impact so product and security stay aligned.
  • Risk-ranked priority. Exploitability, data sensitivity, and framework impact combine into a single defensible priority order.
  • Auditor-ready summaries. Draft executive and compliance-mapped narratives you can edit and export from the portal.
CloneGuard AI Assistanton shift
What is the highest-impact fix from last night's authenticated scan?
IDOR on GET /api/v2/tenants/{id}/invoices. A standard-role session can read invoices belonging to any tenant by changing the ID. Reproduced on 3 of 3 roles tested. In-scope for PCI DSS 6.4.1 and SOC 2 CC7.1.
Severity: 9.4Role: standardPCI 6.4.1
Recommended Plan
Enforce tenant-scoped authorization in the invoice controller and add a regression test for cross-tenant access. Want me to draft the ticket with reproduction steps and a rescan trigger for the fix branch?
