JavaScript's 98% Web Presence Hides Common Vulnerabilities
JavaScript, used in 98% of websites, faces common vulnerabilities like Cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection. Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) helps manage these risks, supporting popular libraries like AngularJS, jQuery, and React.
JavaScript's popularity stems from its ability to create engaging user interfaces and handle complex web elements. Libraries like Lodash, Moment.js, and Vue.js enhance performance and ensure cross-browser compatibility.
Until late 2022, JavaScript library vulnerabilities were tracked under QID 150162. Now, each library has its dedicated QID for better management and reporting. The latest QIDs can be found in databases like Qualys, CVE, or NVD.
Qualys WAS provides Information Gathering QIDs to identify JavaScript libraries in web applications. It also detects and manages library vulnerabilities, helping customers upgrade to the latest, secure versions.
JavaScript's prevalence makes it a prime target for vulnerabilities. Qualys WAS offers robust support for managing these risks, ensuring customers stay informed and protected.
