Actions
| Automatically detect threats in an input string |
Auto-detects a wide range of threat types in input string, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), SQL Injection (SQLI), XML External Entitites (XXE), Server-side Request Forgeries (SSRF), and JSON Insecure Deserialization (JID). |
| Check a URL for Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) threats |
Checks if an input URL is at risk of being an SSRF (Server-side request forgery) threat or attack. |
| Check if IP address is a Bot client threat |
Check if the input IP address is a Bot, robot, or otherwise a non-user entity. Leverages real-time signals to check against known high-probability bots.. |
| Check if IP address is a known threat |
Check if the input IP address is a known threat IP address. Checks against known bad IPs, botnets, compromised servers, and other lists of threats. |
| Check if IP address is a Tor node server |
Check if the input IP address is a Tor exit node server. Tor servers are a type of privacy-preserving technology that can hide the original IP address who makes a request. |
| Check text input for SQL Injection (SQLI) attacks |
Detects SQL Injection (SQLI) attacks from text input. |
| Detect Insecure Deserialization JSON (JID) attacks in a string |
Detects Insecure Deserialization JSON (JID) attacks from text input. |
| Protect text input from Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attacks through normalization |
Detects and removes XSS (Cross-Site-Scripting) attacks from text input through normalization. Returns the normalized result, as well as information on whether the original input contained an XSS risk. |
| Protect text input from XML External Entity (XXE) attacks |
Detects XXE (XML External Entity) attacks from XML text input. |
