arXiv:2501.05907v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The Huge growth in the usage of web applications has raised concerns regarding their security vulnerabilities, which in turn pushes toward robust security testing tools. This study compares OWASP ZAP, the leading open-source web application vulnerability scanner, across its two most recent iterations. While comparing their performance to the OWASP Benchmark, the study evaluates their efficiency in spotting vulnerabilities in the purposefully v
Editorial Analysis
Understanding detection-rate differences between ZAP versions helps security teams close DAST coverage gaps before they become exploitable.
Compare the study's findings to your deployed ZAP version and plan upgrades where coverage gaps are identified.
