# VigilFlux: Complete Technical Reference

> AI-powered security testing platform for web applications. Deploy autonomous AI agents to find vulnerabilities before attackers do.

## Product Overview

VigilFlux is a full-stack security scanning platform that combines AI agent orchestration with traditional security tools. It uses LangGraph to coordinate multiple specialized agents that work in parallel, producing comprehensive vulnerability reports with risk scores and remediation guidance.

### How It Works

1. **Connect your repo** - Install the VigilFlux GitHub App on any repo. One click, no YAML or config files needed.
2. **Push code and open a PR** - Every time you open or update a pull request, VigilFlux automatically kicks off a security scan on the changed files.
3. **AI agents scan your code** - 7 specialized agents run in parallel. A supervisor agent adapts the scan to your stack.
4. **Get findings as PR comments** - Findings appear as inline PR comments with severity ratings, proof-of-exploit details, and AI-generated fix suggestions.
5. **Merge with confidence** - Apply one-click remediation PRs or type /vigilflux fix to auto-generate patches.

You can also scan standalone domains:
1. **Add Domain** - Register your domain and choose a verification method (DNS TXT record, HTML meta tag, or file upload).
2. **Verify Ownership** - Prove you own the domain to prevent unauthorized scanning.
3. **Launch Scan** - Configure agents and aggression level, then start the scan.
4. **Get Report** - Receive a scored report with findings, severity ratings, and fix recommendations.

### GitHub and GitLab Integration

- **GitHub App** - Install the VigilFlux GitHub App to automatically scan every pull request. Findings are posted as inline PR comments with AI fix suggestions. Type /vigilflux fix to generate a remediation PR.
- **GitLab** - Connect via GitLab OAuth to scan merge requests. VigilFlux runs security scans on each MR and posts findings as notes.
- **API / CI/CD** - Pro and Enterprise plans include API tokens for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or any CI/CD system. Trigger scans on demand, gate deployments on security results, and receive webhook notifications.

### Scan Pipeline Architecture

The scan executes in phases:

**Phase 1: Reconnaissance (Parallel)**
- **Nmap Agent** - Port scanning and service detection. Identifies open ports, running services, and their versions.
- **Subdomain Agent** - Subdomain enumeration. Discovers subdomains using multiple data sources.
- **TechFP Agent** - Technology fingerprinting. Identifies web frameworks, CMS platforms, JavaScript libraries, and server software.

**Phase 2: Intelligent Routing**
- **Supervisor Agent** - An LLM-powered router (Claude) that analyzes recon results and decides which specialist agents to deploy. For example, if a web application with form inputs is detected, it routes to XSS and SQLi specialists.

**Phase 3: Specialist Testing (Parallel)**
- **SQL Injection Agent** - Tests for SQL injection vulnerabilities across detected endpoints and parameters.
- **XSS Agent** - Tests for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in reflected and stored contexts.
- **Nuclei Agent** - Runs template-based vulnerability scans using the Nuclei engine for known CVEs and misconfigurations.
- **Nikto Agent** - Web server vulnerability scanning for common misconfigurations, default files, and known issues.

**Phase 4: Exploit Verification**
- **Exploit Verifier** - Uses Claude Opus to generate targeted payloads and verify critical findings with real HTTP requests. Only verified exploits are reported in white-box mode (No-Exploit-No-Report).
- **Exploitation Agent** - Playwright-based XSS and IDOR probes for browser-level verification.

**Phase 5: Report Generation**
- All findings are aggregated, deduplicated, and scored.
- A security report is generated with executive summary, risk score (0-100), individual findings with severity ratings, proof-of-exploit details, and actionable remediation steps.

### White-Box Scanning

When a repository URL is provided, VigilFlux performs white-box analysis:
- **Code Indexer** - Shallow clones the repo, extracts routes, auth patterns, and database queries using regex, then summarizes with Claude Haiku.
- Source code context is passed to specialist agents for more accurate vulnerability detection.
- Critical findings include verified exploits with cURL commands and response snippets.

### LLM Tiering

VigilFlux uses different Claude models for different tasks to optimize cost and quality:
- **Haiku** - Code indexing, technology fingerprinting, low-cost analysis
- **Sonnet** - Supervisor routing, specialist agents, fix suggestions
- **Opus** - Exploit payload generation, verification of critical findings

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What types of vulnerabilities does VigilFlux detect?
VigilFlux tests for SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), open ports and exposed services, outdated software with known CVEs, server misconfigurations, default credentials, directory traversal, IDOR, and more. The Nuclei agent alone covers thousands of vulnerability templates. Critical findings are verified with real exploit payloads.

### Is VigilFlux safe to use on production websites?
Yes. VigilFlux requires domain ownership verification before scanning. Scan aggression levels can be configured, and the default "safe" mode avoids destructive testing. The AI supervisor also filters out potentially dangerous test cases.

### How does VigilFlux compare to tools like Burp Suite or OWASP ZAP?
VigilFlux is designed for automation and ease of use. While Burp Suite and ZAP are powerful manual tools for security professionals, VigilFlux is built for developers and teams who want automated, AI-orchestrated scanning without needing deep security expertise. It combines multiple tools (Nmap, Nuclei, Nikto, custom agents) into a single intelligent pipeline with proof-of-exploit verification.

### Can I scan any website?
No. You can only scan domains you own and have verified. This prevents abuse and ensures ethical scanning practices.

### What is the risk score?
The risk score is a 0-100 health score where 100 means no vulnerabilities found and 0 means critical issues detected. It is calculated based on the number, severity, and type of findings. Scores are categorized as: Safe (90-100), Low Risk (70-89), Medium Risk (40-69), High Risk (20-39), Critical (0-19).

### Does VigilFlux store my scan results?
Free plan results are retained for 24 hours. Pro plan results are retained for 90 days. Enterprise customers can configure custom retention policies.

### Is there an API?
Yes. Pro and Enterprise plans include API token management for integrating VigilFlux into CI/CD pipelines, custom dashboards, and automated workflows. Free users get 2 API tokens, Pro users get 10.

### Can I integrate VigilFlux with GitHub and GitLab?
Yes. Install the VigilFlux GitHub App to automatically scan every pull request. Findings appear as inline PR comments with AI fix suggestions. You can type /vigilflux fix to generate a remediation PR. Connect via GitLab OAuth to scan merge requests. Pro and Enterprise plans also include API tokens for GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or any CI/CD system.

### What are scan credits?
1 credit = 1 scan. Full audit scans cost 2 credits. You can buy credits in packs (5 for $25, 10 for $45) or get monthly credits with a Pro subscription (30 scans/month). Credits from packs never expire.
