# BRS-XSS
**Context-aware async XSS scanner for CI**
> Professional XSS vulnerability scanner with intelligent context detection, async performance, and enterprise-grade reporting.
---
## Why BRS-XSS?
**Context-Aware Detection** - Understands HTML, JavaScript, CSS, and attribute contexts for precise payload generation
**Async Performance** - Scans 1000+ URLs in 12 minutes on 8 vCPU with intelligent rate limiting
**CI/CD Ready** - SARIF output integrates directly with GitHub Security, GitLab, and other SAST platforms
**WAF Evasion** - Advanced bypass techniques for Cloudflare, AWS WAF, ModSecurity, and 7+ popular WAFs
**Enterprise Features** - Comprehensive reporting, payload deduplication, and production-safe defaults

## Quickstart (60 seconds)
### Install & Scan
```bash
pip install -U brs-xss
brs-xss scan https://target.tld -o out.sarif --fast
```
### Docker
```bash
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/out ghcr.io/eptllc/brs-xss:latest scan https://target.tld -o /out/out.sarif
```
### GitHub Actions Integration
```yaml
- name: XSS Security Scan
run: |
pip install brs-xss
brs-xss scan ${{ github.event.repository.html_url }} -o xss-results.sarif
- name: Upload SARIF
uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v2
with:
sarif_file: xss-results.sarif
```
---
## Results & Reporting
### SARIF Integration
Perfect integration with GitHub Security tab, GitLab Security Dashboard, and SAST platforms:
```bash
# Scan and upload to GitHub Security
brs-xss scan https://app.example.com -o security.sarif
gh api repos/:owner/:repo/code-scanning/sarifs -f sarif=@security.sarif
```
### Interactive HTML Reports
Rich HTML reports with vulnerability details, payload explanations, and one-click replay:
```bash
brs-xss scan https://target.tld --output-html report.html
```
### JSON Schema Validation
Machine-readable results with full JSON Schema validation:
```json
{
"scan_info": {
"timestamp": "2025-09-04T09:03:08Z",
"scanner": "BRS-XSS v2.0.0",
"targets_scanned": 47,
"vulnerabilities_found": 8,
"false_positive_rate": "3.2%"
},
"vulnerabilities": [
{
"url": "https://app.example.com/search?q=test",
"parameter": "q",
"context": "html_attribute",
"payload": "\" onmouseover=\"alert(1)\"",
"severity": "high",
"confidence": 0.94,
"cwe": "CWE-79",
"sarif_rule_id": "XSS001"
}
]
}
```

## Advanced Features
### Context Matrix
- **HTML Context** - Tag content, attributes, comments
- **JavaScript Context** - Script blocks, event handlers, JSON
- **CSS Context** - Style blocks, inline styles
- **URI Context** - URL parameters, fragments
- **SVG Context** - SVG elements and attributes
- **XML Context** - CDATA, processing instructions
### Performance & Safety
- **Rate Limiting** - 8 RPS default, respects robots.txt
- **Concurrency Control** - 32 concurrent requests with backoff
- **Smart Caching** - URL+parameter reflection cache, Bloom filter deduplication
- **Safe Mode** - Production-safe defaults: depth 3, denylist enabled
### Payload Engineering
- **1200+ Payloads** - Context-specific, polyglot, and WAF bypass variants
- **Intelligent Selection** - ML-enhanced payload effectiveness scoring
- **Aggr Mode** - Multi-encoding polyglots for maximum coverage
- **WAF Metrics** - Hit rates tested on 10+ demo targets
---
## Configuration
Default config in `~/.config/brs-xss/config.toml`:
```toml
[scanner]
concurrency = 32
rate_limit = 8.0 # requests per second
timeout = 15
max_depth = 3
safe_mode = true
[generator]
max_payloads = 500
effectiveness_threshold = 0.65
include_evasions = true
include_waf_specific = true
seed = 1337
max_manager_payloads = 2000
max_evasion_bases = 10
evasion_variants_per_tech = 2
waf_bases = 3
enable_aggressive = false
pool_cap = 10000
norm_hash = false
[payloads]
contexts = ["html", "attribute", "script", "css", "uri", "svg"]
aggr_mode = false # Enable polyglot + multi-encoding
waf_bypass = true
[output]
formats = ["sarif", "json", "html"]
include_screenshots = true
replay_urls = true
```
---
## Commands
```bash
# Quick scan
