A utility for bug hunters and organizations to identify Blind Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities via customizable payloads and notifications.
bXSS is a utility for detecting Blind Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities, where an attacker's payload executes in a victim's browser but the results are not directly visible. It provides a server that captures these blind interactions, helping bug hunters and organizations identify security flaws in web applications. The tool generates payloads and sends alerts through various channels like email, Slack, or SMS when a vulnerability is triggered.
Security researchers, bug bounty hunters, penetration testers, and organizations conducting authorized web application security assessments.
Developers choose bXSS for its customizable notification system, support for multiple alert channels, and ease of self-hosting, making it a versatile tool for integrating blind XSS detection into existing security workflows without relying on external services.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports notifications via email, SMS, Slack, Discord, and more, as detailed in the README with step-by-step setup for each service, enabling seamless integration into existing security workflows.
Offers configurable alerting levels to control sensitivity, reducing noise and allowing teams to prioritize critical vulnerabilities based on their risk tolerance.
Provides ready-to-use XSS payloads accessible via the /payloads route, saving time in crafting exploits and ensuring compatibility with various testing scenarios.
Automatically reports findings using the /.well-known/security.txt standard, facilitating responsible disclosure and alignment with industry best practices for vulnerability reporting.
Requires extensive configuration of environment variables and setup of external services (e.g., Twilio, Slack tokens), which is time-consuming and prone to errors, as highlighted in the README's detailed service configuration steps.
Notification features rely on external APIs that may change, break, or require paid accounts (like Twilio), adding maintenance overhead and potential costs not covered by the tool itself.
Unlike automated scanners, bXSS doesn't crawl or test applications automatically; users must manually inject payloads, limiting scalability for large-scale or continuous security assessments.
