Which scans can EuropeanSEC perform?

With EuropeanSEC Pro, you not only have access to a highly secure Web Application Firewall (WAF) and a high-performance Content Delivery Network (CDN), but you also have various scans that allow you to automatically check your website, for example, for malware or vulnerabilities.

Malware Scan

The malware scan automatically examines your website at random for known malware and notifies you if signs of malicious software are found. The scanner uses signatures from both an internal database and external databases (Google, PhishTank, Anti-Virus Blacklist). 

After completing a security scan, you receive a detailed overview of all the checked pages of your website. This report not only lists the number of URLs examined, but also clearly highlights whether suspicious or malicious content was discovered.

If malware is found, the scan provides particularly precise information: This includes the exact page or file paths, the type of malware, and a classification of the threat by severity. In addition, a short code snippet or example is displayed so you can see exactly where the malicious content is located.

This way, you always have an overview of your website's security status and can take quick and targeted action if necessary.

Platform Vulnerabilities

The vulnerability scan checks the integrity of your content management system (CMS) as well as all installed plugins, themes, and extensions for known security gaps. The test routines compare the versions in use with reported vulnerabilities and create a consolidated result report with concrete recommendations for action. In most cases, problems found can be resolved by updating the core files, plugins, or themes to the latest version.

Scan Results

The scan result is clearly structured and focuses on the essentials: If a vulnerability is detected, the summary lists the type of vulnerability (e.g. platform issue, XSS, or SQL injection), the affected software, file, or URL, as well as further information and recommendations for action.

Platform Vulnerabilities

On this tab, you will find information about possible security gaps in your platform environment—such as outdated CMS versions, insecure plugins, or vulnerable themes. Each vulnerability found is categorized and described by category and severity. In addition, you receive an explanation of the possible impact and concrete steps for remediation. Understanding these entries and promptly implementing the recommended measures are essential to permanently ensure the security and integrity of your website.

SQL Injection (SQLi)

Under this section, the scanned URLs that are potentially vulnerable to SQL injection attacks are listed. SQLi is a particularly critical vulnerability: Attackers can use it to read, modify, or delete databases. The report shows the affected endpoints and provides tips for securing them—for example, parameter validation, prepared statements, or removing insecure input handling.

Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)

This view lists all locations on your website that could be vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). XSS allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages, which can lead to theft of user data, session hijacking, manipulation of page content, or the spread of malware. The scan provides concrete examples of the identified input points and recommends countermeasures such as output encoding, Content Security Policy (CSP), and careful input validation.

Other Scans

• Spam Monitoring: EuropeanSEC monitors the reputation of your hosting server and checks whether the server's IP address is listed on any of the known blacklists.
• Risk Assessment: EuropeanSEC performs a risk analysis of your website.
