Pixy – An Open-Source Vulnerability Scanner for PHP Applications

"The Secure Systems Lab at the Technical University of Vienna has released the newest version of Pixy, an open-source
vulnerability scanner. Here are some of the highlights:

– detection of SQL injection and XSS vulnerabilities in PHP source code

– automatic resolution of file inclusions

– computation of dependence graphs that help you understand the causes of reported vulnerabilities

– static analysis engine (flow-sensitive, interprocedural, context-sensitive)

– platform-independent (written in Java)

Pixy can be downloaded for free from http://pixybox.seclab.tuwien.ac.at/. "
