Test web applications behind authentication with 17 automated security modules

The most critical web application vulnerabilities hide behind login pages. SQL injection in an admin panel, IDOR flaws in API endpoints, broken access control on user management pages — these issues are invisible to unauthenticated scanners. Traditional approaches require security testers to manually configure proxy tools, authenticate sessions, and replay requests one at a time. This is slow, error-prone, and difficult to scale across multiple engagements.

SecPortal solves this with authenticated scanning built directly into the platform. Store credentials securely using AES-256-GCM encryption, configure the authentication method once, and let 17 specialised security modules test every authenticated endpoint automatically. Results feed directly into your engagement workflow where they can be triaged, combined with manual findings, and delivered through AI-generated reports.

Secure credential storage for every authentication type

Cookie Authentication

Paste a session cookie value and SecPortal injects it into every request. Ideal for applications that use server-side session management.

Bearer Token

Provide a JWT or API token that is sent as an Authorization header. Works with modern SPAs and API-driven applications.

Basic Auth

Supply a username and password pair for HTTP Basic Authentication. Commonly used for internal tools and staging environments.

Form Login

Configure the login URL, form fields, and credentials. SecPortal authenticates automatically before each scan module runs.

17 authenticated security modules

SQL Injection

Tests for error-based, blind, and time-based SQL injection across form inputs, query parameters, and JSON request bodies behind authentication.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

Reflected and stored XSS detection across authenticated pages, including DOM-based vectors in JavaScript-heavy single-page applications.

Insecure Direct Object Reference

IDOR testing across authenticated API endpoints and page parameters to detect horizontal and vertical privilege escalation paths.

Cross-Site Request Forgery

CSRF token validation testing on state-changing operations, including token absence, token reuse, and token fixation vulnerabilities.

Path Traversal

Directory traversal and local file inclusion testing against file upload, download, and template rendering endpoints behind authentication.

Broken Access Control

Tests for missing authorisation checks, role bypass, forced browsing to admin pages, and API endpoints accessible without proper permissions.

How automated DAST complements manual testing

  • Automated DAST scanning runs 17 modules in parallel, completing a full authenticated assessment in minutes rather than the hours or days required for manual testing
  • Every finding includes the exact request and response that triggered the detection, providing reproducible proof of concept without manual replay
  • Scheduled scans can run weekly or monthly to detect regressions after deployments, catching vulnerabilities that manual testing would only find at the next engagement
  • Automated scanning establishes a baseline that manual testers can build on, focusing human effort on business logic flaws that automation cannot detect
  • Scan results feed directly into the engagement workflow where they can be combined with manual findings for a comprehensive assessment report

Integration with the engagement workflow

Engagement-Linked Scans

Authenticated scans are linked to specific engagements, so findings automatically appear in the engagement context alongside manual findings.

Severity Normalisation

Automated findings use the same CVSS 3.1 scoring as manual findings, ensuring consistent severity ratings across your entire assessment.

AI Report Inclusion

Authenticated scan findings are included in AI-generated reports alongside manual findings, producing a unified deliverable for clients.

Client Portal Delivery

All findings — automated and manual — are visible in the branded client portal where clients can track remediation progress.

Authenticated web application testing is where the highest-risk vulnerabilities live. SecPortal makes it straightforward to store credentials securely, run comprehensive automated tests, and deliver results through the same professional workflow used for every other assessment type. Stop skipping authenticated testing because the tooling is too complex — SecPortal handles the infrastructure so you can focus on the findings.

How it works in SecPortal

A streamlined workflow from start to finish.

1

Store credentials securely

Add authentication credentials — cookie, bearer token, basic auth, or form login. All credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.

2

Run authenticated scan

Launch 17 security modules that test behind login: SQLi, XSS, IDOR, CSRF, path traversal, command injection, broken access control, and more.

3

Triage and deliver

Review findings with severity ratings and CVSS scores. Generate AI reports and share through the client portal with remediation guidance.
