how to automate subdomain vulnerability scanning without manually digging through dns records

the problem

managing subdomain security can be a pain. manually checking each subdomain for misconfigurations, exposed files, or outdated configs is time-consuming and error-prone.

the solution

with the subdomain-vulnerability-entity API, you can automatically enumerate all subdomains and analyze them for common vulnerabilities in one go.

example request:

GET https://subdomain-vulnerability-entity.apimesh.xyz/check?domain=example.com

sample output:

{
"subdomains": ["api.example.com", "dev.example.com"],
"issues": ["misconfigured security headers", "exposed admin panel"],
"exposed_files": ["config.php", "admin/login"],
"outdated": ["old certs"]
}

how it works

the api performs exhaustive subdomain enumeration utilizing free dns lookups, certificate transparency logs, and public dns APIs. then it analyzes the collected subdomains for misconfigurations, exposed files, or outdated resources.
