integrating-dast-with-owasp-zap-in-pipeline

separate

Integrates OWASP ZAP (Zed Attack Proxy) into GitHub Actions and GitLab CI pipelines, covering baseline, full, and API scan configuration against running applications, ZAP finding interpretation, scan policy tuning, and DAST quality gates. Use when testing running web apps or REST/GraphQL APIs for XSS, SQLi, CSRF, and auth/authz flaws, or when SAST alone is insufficient and runtime DAST is required for compliance or release gating.

When to use

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

When not to use

• Scanning source code
• Scanning dependencies
• Infrastructure configuration scanning
