WebSecScan: AI-Powered Website Security Auditor

This n8n workflow provides comprehensive website security analysis by leveraging OpenAI's models to detect vulnerabilities, configuration issues, and security misconfigurations. The workflow generates a professional HTML security report delivered directly via Gmail.

Key Features

Dual-Layer Security Analysis:** Performs parallel security audits using specialized OpenAI agents:
Header Configuration Audit: Analyzes HTTP headers, CORS policies, CSP implementation, and cookie security
Vulnerability Assessment: Identifies XSS vectors, information disclosure, and client-side weaknesses

Detailed Security Grading:** Automatically calculates a security grade (A+ to F) based on findings severity and quantity

Professional Report Generation:** Creates a comprehensive HTML report with:
Security grade visualization
Color-coded vulnerability categories
Detailed recommendations with example configuration fixes
Header presence/absence indicators
Implementation guidance for remediation

Non-Invasive Testing:** Performs analysis without active scanning or exploitation attempts

Technical Implementation

Multi-Agent Architecture:** Utilizes two specialized OpenAI agents with custom prompts tailored for security analysis
Advanced Header Analysis:** Detects presence and proper implementation of critical security headers:
Content-Security-Policy
Strict-Transport-Security
X-Content-Type-Options
X-Frame-Options
Referrer-Policy
Permissions-Policy
