Abstract

Web applications face constant threats from cyber attackers exploiting vulnerabilities like Command Injection, and Outdated Components. There are several popular scanners for finding vulnerabilities, but they do not often find these two OWASP TO 10 vulnerabilities. In this research work, our proposed algorithm effectively identifies vulnerabilities like these scanners but achieves 100% accuracy. The system is designed to detect 2 types of Top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities: Command Injection, and Outdated Components, ensuring comprehensive security analysis. The proposed algorithm integrates Naïve HTML Parsing & Heuristic-Based Detection, and Naïve Vulnerability Checking in JavaScript Libraries techniques to automate the scanning process. Additionally, it leverages the Gemini API to provide AI-powered mitigation strategies. Identified vulnerabilities are displayed on-screen. Experimental results confirm 100% detection accuracy, validated through manual penetration testing. The system also consumes less memory than the base paper algorithm, making it highly efficient for resource-constrained environments. By integrating AI-driven mitigation with automated vulnerability detection, the proposed system enhances web security while minimizing response time. Future improvements will focus on more OWASP TOP 10 Vulnerabilities with 100% accuracy using naive techniques/algorithms and lightweight cybersecurity solution for modern web applications.
