## What it is
Tplmap is a Python command-line tool that automatically detects and exploits Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) and code injection vulnerabilities in web applications, using sandbox escape techniques to gain OS-level access. It supports many template engines (Jinja2, Mako, Smarty, etc.) and eval-like injections in Python, Ruby, PHP, and Java.

## Use cases
- detect server-side template injection in a web app
- exploit SSTI to get remote code execution
- test if a URL parameter is vulnerable to template injection
- identify which template engine a web application uses
- perform sandbox escape during a penetration test
- find eval-like code injection vulnerabilities
- audit web apps for code injection during black box testing

## When to choose
- you are pentesting a web application and suspect template injection
- you need to identify and exploit SSTI across many template engines
- you want an automated sqlmap-like tool for code injection

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the project is no longer actively developed
- you need defensive scanning rather than offensive exploitation
- you are not authorized to test the target application

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: penetration-testing, security, cli
- domain: security, penetration-testing, web-development
- platform: python, cli, windows
- tags: ssti, code-injection, template-injection, offensive-security, exploitation, pentest-tool, linux, macos
