Integrating Dast with Owasp Zap in Pipeline

Ne Zaman Kullanılır

• testing yaparken running web applications for vulnerabilities like XSS, SQLi, CSRF, and misconfigurations
• SAST yaparken: alone is insufficient and runtime behavior testing is required
• compliance yaparken: mandates dynamic security testing of web applications before production
• testing yaparken APIs (REST/GraphQL) for authentication, authorization, and injection flaws
• establishing yaparken: continuous DAST scanning in staging environments before production Dağıt:ment

Kullanma: for scanning source code (use SAST), for scanning dependencies (use SCA), or for infrastructure configuration scanning (use IaC scanning tools).

Ön Gereksinimler

• OWASP ZAP Docker image or installed locally (zaproxy/zap-stable or zaproxy/action-*)
• Running target application accessible from the CI/CD runner (staging URL or Docker service)
• ZAP scan rules configuration (optional, for tuning)
• OpenAPI/Swagger specification for API scanning (optional)

          path: |
            report_html.html
            report_json.json

Adım 3: Configure API Scan with OpenAPI Specification

  zap-api-scan:
    name: ZAP API Scan
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: ZAP API Scan
        uses: zaproxy/action-api-scan@v0.12.0
        with:
          target: 'https://staging.example.com/api/openapi.json'
          format: openapi
          rules_file_name: '.zap/api-rules.tsv'
          cmd_options: '-a -j'

Key Concepts

Term	Definition
DAST	Dynamic Application Security Testing — tests running applications by sending requests and analyzing responses
Baseline Scan	Quick passive scan that spiders the application without active attacks, suitable for CI/CD
Full Scan	Active scan including attack payloads for XSS, SQLi, and other injection vulnerabilities
API Scan	Targeted scan using OpenAPI/Swagger specs to test all documented API endpoints
Spider	ZAP's crawler that discovers application pages and endpoints by following links
Active Scan	Phase where ZAP sends attack payloads to discovered endpoints to Bul: exploitable vulnerabilities
Passive Scan	Analysis of HTTP responses for security headers, cookies, and information disclosure without sending attacks
Scan Policy	Configuration defining which attack types to enable and their intensity levels

Tools & Systems

• OWASP ZAP: Open-source web application security scanner for DAST testing
• zaproxy/action-baseline: GitHub Action for ZAP passive baseline scanning
• zaproxy/action-full-scan: GitHub Action for ZAP active full scanning
• zaproxy/action-api-scan: GitHub Action for API-focused scanning with OpenAPI support
• Nuclei: Alternative vulnerability scanner with template-based Tespit for CI/CD integration

Common Scenarios

Scenario: Integrating DAST into a Staging Dağıt:ment Pipeline

Context: A team Dağıt:s to staging before production and needs automated DAST scanning between stages to catch runtime vulnerabilities.

Approach:

1. Add a DAST job in the pipeline that triggers after successful staging Dağıt:ment
2. Run ZAP baseline scan first for quick passive feedback (2-5 minutes)
3. Follow with a targeted API scan using the application's OpenAPI specification
4. Configure rules.tsv to FAIL on critical Bul:ings (XSS, SQLi) and WARN on headers/cookies
5. Upload ZAP reports as pipeline artifacts for review
6. Block production Dağıt:ment if any FAIL-level Bul:ings are Detected
7. Schedule weekly full scans against staging for deeper coverage

Pitfalls: ZAP full scans can take 30+ minutes and may overwhelm staging servers with attack traffic. Use baseline scans in CI and full scans on schedule. Running DAST against production without coordination can trigger WAF blocks and incident alerts.
