OWASP VulnerableApp Break it. Scan it. Reproduce it. Benchmark against it. Improve it. OWASP VulnerableApp is a modular deliberately vulnerable application designed primarily for validating and benchmarking security scanners through reproducible test scenarios, while also supporting learning and experimentation. 🔍 What makes it different Unlike traditional vulnerable applications, VulnerableApp is designed as a testable security ecosystem, not a static training app. It enables: 🔬 Scanner benchmarking for tools like Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and custom DAST engines 🧩 Modular vulnerability design that allows new scenarios without modifying core services 📊 Security regression testing across releases and environments 🎯 Realistic attack surface simulation for modern web application patterns…
