Hookwarden: A CLI for Webhook Signature-Verification Bugs
Hookwarden is a specialized tool designed for verifying webhook signatures in applications. It scans codebases across multiple frameworks to identify potential verification bugs that could lead to security vulnerabilities. The tool provides detailed feedback on each webhook handler, helping developers ensure their applications are secure against fraud losses stemming from these bugs.
- ▪Hookwarden scans webhook handlers in 11 different frameworks to identify verification issues.
- ▪The tool categorizes handlers as verified, not-verified, or requiring manual review.
- ▪It does not require any network access or telemetry, ensuring privacy and security during scans.
