OWASP JoomScan is an open-source Perl-based vulnerability scanner for Joomla CMS deployments. It enumerates versions, components, and known vulnerabilities, detects misconfigurations, and generates text and HTML reports.
Use cases
- scan a joomla site for known vulnerabilities
- enumerate joomla cms version and components
- find joomla misconfigurations and backup files
- detect web application firewall on a joomla target
- generate vulnerability report for joomla deployment
When to choose
- auditing a Joomla CMS installation for known CVEs and exploits
- penetration testing engagements targeting Joomla sites
- you want a lightweight scanner bundled with Kali Linux
When to avoid
- scanning non-Joomla web applications or other CMS platforms
- you need a general-purpose web vulnerability scanner
- the project's vulnerability database is outdated for your target version
