01

Website Vulnerability Scanner

Find the website risks that are easiest to miss when a site moves fast: unsafe headers, exposed files, injection signals, auth weaknesses, and public attack surface.

A useful vulnerability scanner should do more than list warnings. Fixnx turns public website checks into a readable security report with evidence, priority, and next steps your team can act on.

Public attack surfaceSQL injection signalsXSS indicatorsSecurity headersSensitive filesSession evidence

Run a fast website vulnerability scanner for public security risks, exposed files, risky headers, authentication issues, and clear remediation guidance.

Why website vulnerability scanning should be part of every release

Most website incidents start with small public mistakes: a forgotten backup file, a weak login route, a missing browser protection, or an API endpoint that reveals more than expected. A scan gives teams a practical way to see those problems before users or attackers do.

Fixnx is designed for fast feedback. It separates confirmed issues from likely signals, explains evidence clearly, and keeps low-impact hardening items from drowning out the risks that should be fixed first.

Use this page as a launch point before a release, after a major frontend change, or whenever a new domain becomes public.

Article FAQ

Is a website vulnerability scanner the same as a penetration test?

No. A scanner gives fast, repeatable coverage for common public risks. A manual penetration test adds deeper business logic testing and human validation.

Can I scan a live production website?

Yes. Fixnx uses bounded checks designed for live websites. Deep or authenticated scans should still be scoped carefully.

PRODUCT

02

Web Security Scanner

Scan the browser-facing parts of your website and understand which weaknesses matter before they become support tickets or security incidents.

Modern web apps combine static assets, APIs, sessions, redirects, and third-party scripts. Fixnx reviews the visible web surface and turns technical signals into practical recommendations.

Browser-rendered pagesHeadersCookiesFormsAPI routesClient-side exposure

Use Fixnx as a web security scanner for headers, browser protections, authentication surface, exposed resources, and actionable website security reports.

What a web security scanner should explain

A good web security scanner should tell a story: what was tested, what was proven, what is only suspicious, and what should happen next. Without that structure, teams waste time arguing about noisy results.

Fixnx keeps the report focused on concrete risk. Confirmed vulnerabilities are separated from likely findings and informational coverage notes, so teams can fix the highest-impact issues first.

Run a scan when new pages, APIs, authentication changes, or third-party scripts are deployed.

Article FAQ

What does a web security scanner check first?

It starts with public pages, browser behavior, headers, forms, exposed files, and discovered API routes.

Why do some findings stay likely instead of confirmed?

Fixnx only marks exploitability as confirmed when the scan collected proof. Strong signals without proof stay likely.

PRODUCT

03

API Security Scanner

Find API routes that expose sensitive data, accept risky input, or behave differently across anonymous and authenticated contexts.

APIs are often shipped faster than documentation. Fixnx discovers routes from browser traffic, links, JavaScript, and common paths, then classifies what each endpoint appears to handle.

Go to article

  • SaaS APIs
  • Internal dashboards
  • SPA backends

Outcomes

  • See discovered API surface
  • Identify sensitive endpoints
  • Separate public from protected routes
  • Improve API hardening
Endpoint discoverySensitive route classificationAuth surfaceID parametersCORS behaviorResponse evidence

Discover API endpoints, classify sensitive routes, test common API risks, and produce clear evidence for public and authenticated API security issues.

API security starts with knowing what is reachable

Many API risks are not hidden in complex exploits. They come from endpoints that were meant to be internal, debug routes left exposed, or user-owned resources that do not enforce authorization consistently.

Fixnx helps by showing the discovered API surface, classifying endpoint purpose, and attaching evidence to high-risk findings. That makes it easier to talk about API security with developers and product owners.

Use API scanning after frontend releases, backend route changes, and authentication refactors.

Article FAQ

Does Fixnx discover API endpoints automatically?

Yes. It samples browser traffic, page links, forms, JavaScript hints, and common API paths within scope.

Can API authorization be fully proven without login contexts?

No. Full cross-user proof needs separate user contexts, such as userA and userB sessions.

PRODUCT

04

Attack Surface Scanner

Understand what your website exposes to an outside visitor: pages, APIs, parameters, headers, sensitive files, and high-value routes.

Attack surface is the security inventory attackers see first. Fixnx turns that inventory into a report that shows coverage depth and risk priority.

Crawled pagesDiscovered endpointsForms and inputsSensitive filesAdmin-like pathsTechnology hints

Map public pages, APIs, forms, sensitive endpoints, headers, JavaScript assets, and likely security risks with a fast attack surface scanner.

A smaller attack surface is easier to defend

Teams cannot protect routes they do not know about. An attack surface scan gives a practical map of the public website and the API signals that appear during rendering.

Fixnx keeps the scan bounded so it is useful during normal work. It reports how many pages, endpoints, parameters, and active probes were covered, which makes the result easier to trust.

Use this scan before a launch, before onboarding a customer, or when you inherit an existing website.

Article FAQ

What is attack surface scanning?

It is the process of mapping reachable pages, endpoints, inputs, files, and configuration signals that could be attacked.

Does attack surface scanning prove every vulnerability?

No. It maps exposure and highlights risks. Some findings need active proof or authenticated testing.

PRODUCT

05

Security Headers Scanner

Check whether your website sends the browser security headers that reduce clickjacking, MIME sniffing, downgrade, and data leakage risk.

Security headers are not a substitute for secure code, but they are a strong baseline. Fixnx reports missing and weak headers without letting header-only issues outrank confirmed exploitable vulnerabilities.

HSTSContent Security PolicyX-Frame-OptionsX-Content-Type-OptionsReferrer-PolicyPermissions-Policy

Check HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, content type protection, and other browser security headers.

Security headers are a baseline, not the whole story

Headers help browsers enforce safer behavior, but a missing header should not be treated the same as confirmed SQL injection or authentication bypass. Priority matters.

Fixnx checks the common browser protections and explains what they do in plain language. The report keeps hardening recommendations useful while still prioritizing higher-impact vulnerabilities.

Use this page when you want a quick header review before sending a site to customers or auditors.

Article FAQ

Which security header matters most?

It depends on the app. HSTS and CSP are often important, but the right priority depends on exposure and confirmed risks.

Can headers fix vulnerable application code?

No. Headers reduce browser-side risk, but server-side vulnerabilities still need code and configuration fixes.

Start with the risks visible from the outside

You do not need a full security program to start improving your website. A public security check can find missing protections, exposed files, and obvious configuration mistakes quickly.

Fixnx keeps the first report readable. It shows what passed, what failed, and what needs more proof before being treated as confirmed.

Run a free check whenever you launch a new site, change hosting, or connect a new domain.

Article FAQ

What does the free website security check include?

It includes public website checks across security, SEO, and performance with bounded scan depth.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Enter a website URL and Fixnx runs the check from outside the site.

07

OWASP Top 10 Scanner

Review the most common web application risk categories with a report that separates confirmed evidence from likely signals.

The OWASP Top 10 is a practical way to talk about web application risk. Fixnx maps scan results into categories teams already understand, while keeping proof and confidence visible.

InjectionXSSAccess controlAuthenticationSecurity misconfigurationSensitive exposure

Scan a website for OWASP Top 10 risk areas including injection, XSS, access control, authentication, misconfiguration, and sensitive exposure.

Using OWASP Top 10 as a practical checklist

OWASP is useful because it gives teams a shared language. But checklists become noisy when every item looks equally urgent.

Fixnx keeps the OWASP-style view practical by showing severity, confidence, evidence, and recommended first fixes. That helps teams move from awareness to action.

Use this scanner to create a security baseline before deeper manual testing.

Article FAQ

Does this replace an OWASP manual review?

No. It gives fast coverage for common risk areas and helps decide where manual review should focus.

Are all OWASP categories actively exploited by the scanner?

No. Some checks are active, while others are coverage notes or likely signals depending on available proof.

SECURITY TESTS

08

SQL Injection Scanner

Check whether search, filter, login, and ID parameters behave like backend queries can be manipulated.

SQL injection remains one of the clearest signs that application input is reaching a database unsafely. Fixnx looks for measurable response changes and reports evidence carefully.

Go to article

Best for

  • Search endpoints
  • Login routes
  • Filter parameters
  • Legacy apps

Outcomes

  • Find injection candidates
  • See payload evidence
  • Prioritize confirmed findings
  • Add regression tests
Baseline responsePayload responseRecord count differencesSQL error signalsBoolean behaviorSafe limits

Test public parameters for SQL injection signals with baseline comparisons, payload evidence, response differences, and clear confidence labels.

SQL injection proof should be measurable

A scanner should not call SQL injection confirmed because a page looks suspicious. It should show what changed: status, response shape, record count, timing, or error behavior.

Fixnx reports SQL injection with evidence summaries and keeps weaker signals marked as likely. That helps developers reproduce the issue without overstating proof.

Use this check especially on search, login, and API filter routes.

Article FAQ

What makes SQL injection confirmed?

Confirmed SQL injection requires measurable proof such as stable response differences, query errors, record expansion, or verified blind behavior.

Are the payloads destructive?

No. Fixnx uses bounded, controlled payloads intended for safe validation.

SECURITY TESTS

09

XSS Scanner

Check whether user-controlled input can appear in pages, persist in content, or execute in the browser.

XSS risk is easy to overstate if a scanner only sees reflection. Fixnx separates indicators, persistence, and browser execution so teams know what was actually proven.

Outcomes

  • Reduce XSS false confidence

  • Prioritize execution proof
  • Guide encoding fixes
Input reflectionStored marker persistenceDOM sinksBrowser execution signalsContext-aware evidenceSafe markers

Scan for reflected, stored, and DOM XSS indicators, persistence, and browser execution evidence with clear confirmed versus likely labels.

XSS needs context, not just payload lists

A payload reflected into text is not the same as browser-side JavaScript execution. Treating them the same creates false confidence and noisy reports.

Fixnx uses confidence labels so stored-but-not-executed findings stay likely, while browser execution evidence is required for confirmed XSS.

Use this scanner after adding search, rich text, reviews, comments, or user profile features.

Article FAQ

Why is stored XSS sometimes marked likely?

If a marker is stored and retrieved but browser execution is not observed, Fixnx reports it as likely rather than confirmed.

What should developers fix first?

Fix confirmed execution first, then review persistent and reflected likely signals with output encoding and sanitization.

SECURITY TESTS

10

IDOR Scanner

Detect routes where object IDs can be changed and understand whether cross-user access was actually proven.

IDOR testing needs more than a 200 response. Fixnx reports ID mutation as likely unless separate user contexts prove that one user accessed another user's object.

Go to article

Best for

  • Orders
  • Invoices
  • Profiles

Outcomes

  • Find authorization candidates
  • Avoid false confirmation
  • Know when user contexts are needed
  • Improve object-level checks
ID-based URLsObject mutationSession-aware probesOwnership markersUserA/UserB proofResponse comparison

Find object identifier authorization risks and distinguish likely IDOR signals from confirmed cross-user ownership proof.

A real IDOR finding needs ownership proof

Changing an ID and receiving 200 is a signal, not proof. The response might be public, empty, or scoped correctly.

Fixnx keeps that distinction visible. Confirmed IDOR requires evidence that one user accessed data owned by another user.

For best results, provide userA and userB sessions so the scanner can compare ownership boundaries.

Article FAQ

Why was my IDOR finding likely instead of confirmed?

Because the scan observed successful ID mutation but did not prove cross-user ownership exposure.

How do I confirm IDOR?

Provide two separate authenticated user contexts so the scanner can test user-owned resources across accounts.

SECURITY TESTS

11

Authentication Security Testing

Test the routes that decide who gets in, how sessions are created, and whether authentication proof can be reused against protected endpoints.

Authentication issues can change the entire risk picture. Fixnx verifies reusable context before calling authentication bypass confirmed.

Go to article

Login endpoint discoveryBypass payload responseToken extractionProtected endpoint verificationSession modelPassword route signals

Review login surfaces, authentication bypass signals, token handling, session reuse, password routes, and protected endpoint verification.

Authentication evidence must prove access

A token-looking response is not enough. A strong authentication finding should show that the scanner reused the artifact against a protected endpoint.

Fixnx reports login endpoint, payload preview, response status, session artifact type, verification endpoint, and authentication model with masked secrets.

Use this page when a site has login, account areas, or admin functionality.

Article FAQ

What confirms authentication bypass?

Fixnx requires a successful bypass response and protected endpoint verification using the resulting session or token.

Are tokens shown in the report?

No. Tokens are masked and only short previews are displayed.

SECURITY TESTS

HTTPS responseCertificate validityHTTP redirectHSTSMixed contentInsecure forms

Check HTTPS availability, certificate validity, HTTP to HTTPS behavior, HSTS, insecure forms, and mixed content risk signals.

TLS checks are a launch requirement

Users expect HTTPS everywhere. Search engines, browsers, and customers all treat broken transport security as a trust issue.

Fixnx checks whether HTTPS works, whether HTTP redirects safely, and whether page content creates insecure browser behavior.

Run this check after DNS changes, CDN changes, certificate renewals, and hosting migrations.

Article FAQ

Does SSL/TLS scanning check the certificate?

Yes. Fixnx checks public HTTPS behavior and certificate-related signals available during the scan.

Is HSTS always required?

HSTS is a strong protection for HTTPS sites, but it should be enabled carefully once HTTPS is stable.

Fixnx gives SaaS teams a fast way to inspect those signals and produce a report that product, engineering, and security teams can understand together.

Use it before enterprise deals, major launches, and security questionnaire cycles.

Article FAQ

Can Fixnx help with security questionnaires?

It can support answers about public website posture, scan coverage, and remediation priorities, but it does not replace formal compliance evidence.

Should SaaS teams run authenticated scans?

Yes, when possible. Authenticated mode gives stronger coverage for protected endpoints and authorization behavior.

API security checklist for public apps

Start by listing the API routes that are reachable from the browser. If you cannot describe what each route does, it is hard to defend it.

Next, test whether routes require the right authentication, enforce object-level authorization, avoid exposing sensitive fields, and handle errors safely.

Fixnx helps by discovering and classifying API endpoints, then attaching evidence to security findings.

Article FAQ

What is the most common API security issue?

Broken authorization is common, especially around user-owned resources such as baskets, orders, invoices, and profiles.

Do I need authenticated scans for API testing?

OWASP Top 10 in plain language

The OWASP Top 10 is not a magic checklist, but it is a helpful map of the risks that appear repeatedly in web applications.

Use it to organize findings, not to replace evidence. A confirmed authentication bypass should outrank a low-impact header warning even if both appear in a security report.

Fixnx aligns scan output with this practical approach: proof first, priority second, explanation always.

Article FAQ

Is OWASP Top 10 only for security teams?

No. Developers, founders, DevOps teams, and product leaders can use it to understand common web application risk.

Does passing an OWASP scan mean my app is secure?

No single scan proves full security. It improves coverage and helps prioritize deeper review.

How to remediate vulnerabilities without losing focus

Start with confirmed exploitable vulnerabilities, especially public unauthenticated issues and anything that grants authenticated access or exposes data.

Next, review likely high-impact issues. They may need more proof, but they often point to risky code paths or authorization boundaries.

After fixes are deployed, rerun the scan and compare evidence. Remediation is complete only when the risky behavior no longer appears.

Article FAQ

What should remediation teams fix first?

Fix confirmed critical and high vulnerabilities first, especially issues that enable attack paths.

Should low-risk findings be ignored?

No, but they should not outrank confirmed exploitable issues. Schedule hardening after urgent fixes.

Compare Fixnx automated website security scanning with manual penetration testing, including speed, depth, cost, evidence, and when to use both.

Automated scanning and manual testing work best together

A manual pentest can find complex business logic issues that scanners may miss. But it is usually slower, more expensive, and less frequent.

Fixnx helps teams clean up public issues before a pentest and rerun checks after fixes. That makes manual testing time more valuable.

Use Fixnx continuously and bring in manual testers for high-risk releases, compliance, and deep application review.

Article FAQ

Does Fixnx replace a manual pentest?

No. It complements manual testing with fast, repeatable public and authenticated scan coverage.

When should I run Fixnx before a pentest?

Run it before scoping and again after remediation to reduce obvious findings and verify fixes.

Why scanner reports need better product thinking

A scanner can be technically correct and still hard to use. If every finding looks urgent, teams stop trusting the report.

Fixnx separates confirmed vulnerabilities from likely issues and supporting evidence. That makes the report more useful for engineering and business conversations.

Use this comparison when evaluating tools for public website and API scanning.

Article FAQ

What makes Fixnx different?

Fixnx emphasizes proof, confidence, risk scoring, attack path narrative, and readable reporting.

Can Fixnx import findings from other scanners?

Scanner safety is part of product trust

Security scanning should not become a source of new risk. Fixnx avoids destructive checks, keeps payloads bounded, and masks sensitive artifacts in reports.

The product also avoids false certainty. Findings are labeled by confidence so users know whether exploitability was confirmed or only suggested.

For authenticated scans, provide only scoped test accounts and rotate credentials when testing is complete.

Article FAQ

Does Fixnx store raw tokens?

Report output is designed to store and display masked token previews rather than raw secrets.

Does Fixnx scan out-of-scope domains?

Fixnx is designed to keep scans scoped to the target host unless broader scope is explicitly supported.

What Fixnx status should tell you

A scan may move through queued, running, partial, completed, or failed states. The most important signal is whether each category has completed or reported an error.

If a scan appears slow, the report should show which category is running and expose console logs with phase information for troubleshooting.

This page is a product overview. A live public status integration can be added when operational monitoring is connected.

Article FAQ

Why can a scan take longer than expected?

External targets can be slow, block requests, redirect heavily, or delay browser rendering. Fixnx uses bounded timeouts and phase logs.

What should I send support?

Send the scan ID, target domain, latest phase, and any visible error message.

Questions about Fixnx website scans

Fixnx reviews the public parts of a website across security, SEO, and performance. It checks headers, exposed files, cookies, forms, login surfaces, APIs, metadata, page structure, browser behavior, and practical signals that help teams understand what to fix first.

Fixnx includes 2 website scans completely free. You can start a scan quickly, then sign in with Google to keep the scan connected to your account and view the full report with the fix guidance.

After signing in, Fixnx unlocks the full report experience: remediation guidance, exact locations, evidence details, saved scan history, and clearer next steps for developers, site owners, agencies, and security teams.

After the free scans, you can buy more scans for a small payment. The current starter pack adds 20 scans for $4.99, which keeps Fixnx accessible while still giving you a report that can often save many hours of manual review and help avoid issues that may cost thousands later.

A strong Fixnx score means the visible website baseline looks healthy for the scan mode, with no serious confirmed public evidence found during the scan. It gives you a clear confidence signal and helps you focus attention where improvement would have the most value.

Fixnx prioritizes findings by evidence, exploitability, login impact, sensitive data exposure, access control risk, CMS exposure, browser hardening, SEO, and performance. The goal is to show the most useful fixes first instead of overwhelming you with generic warnings.

Yes. Fixnx is especially useful for sites that rely on CMS platforms, public login pages, plugins, themes, forms, uploads, and common web hosting stacks. It highlights practical hardening gaps and turns them into clear actions.

A launch often exposes new pages, scripts, forms, redirects, tracking tags, and performance changes. Fixnx helps catch visible risks before customers, search engines, or attackers find them first.

Yes. Fixnx keeps Security as the main signal, but it also reviews SEO and performance basics such as metadata, crawl signals, page weight, speed hints, and content structure so the report supports both protection and growth.

Start with confirmed exploitable security findings, then high-impact login, data exposure, access control, CMS, and browser hardening issues. After that, use the SEO and performance findings to improve crawl quality, speed, and user experience.

Yes. Fixnx reports are written to be practical: each issue includes context, priority, evidence, and fix guidance so technical and non-technical stakeholders can understand what changed and why it matters.
