Overview
Frontend Security Scan is part of the RHypernova Vulnerability Lab — Scan websites and apps for weaknesses, attack paths, remediation plans, and security scorecards. Whether you are handling a single application or URL inventory or a high-volume workload, this guide covers exactly what Frontend Security Scan does, how to use it step by step, and how to get the best results the first time.
If you searched for OWASP scanner, you are in the right place. Most tools force you to install desktop software, add watermarks, cap free usage, or scatter your workflow across five different sites. RHypernova brings Frontend Security Scan into one clean, browser-based workspace built for developers, AppSec engineers, startups, and security-aware founders — free to start and with nothing to download.
Below you will find a quick step-by-step, real use cases, best-practice tips, a comparison with the old way of doing this, security details, and answers to the most common questions about Frontend Security Scan.
What is Frontend Security Scan?
Frontend Security Scan lets you analyze HTML/JS/SPA markup for XSS sinks, insecure storage, mixed content, and client-side threats. It runs entirely online, so you can open a application or URL inventory, apply the change, and download the result from any device — Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS.
Because it lives inside the wider RHypernova Vulnerability Lab, Frontend Security Scan shares the same secure processing pipeline and a consistent, ribbon-style interface as every other tool in the suite. That means once you learn one tool, the rest feel familiar, and you can chain several steps together without leaving the workspace.

- Use the preview step to catch issues early instead of re-doing work after download.
- Bookmark the Frontend Security Scan page so you can jump back to it whenever you need it.
- For repeated or high-volume work, look at the batch and API options in Vulnerability Lab instead of doing it one file at a time.
- Combine Frontend Security Scan with the other RHypernova Vulnerability Lab tools to finish an entire task in one session.
