ZeroThreat.ai Expands Deep Authenticated Security Testing with Playwright-Powered Application Journeys

New capability enables security teams to uncover vulnerabilities hidden behind logins, multi-step workflows, and complex application journeys that traditional scanners often miss 

USA, June 2026 – ZeroThreat.ai, the AI-powered web application and API pentesting platform, today announced the expansion of its deep authenticated security testing capabilities with the introduction of Application Journeys, a new feature powered by Playwright that enables security teams to scan modern applications through real user workflows.

As organizations increasingly rely on SPAs, authenticated portals, multi-step workflows, and API-driven architectures, a growing portion of application risk exists beyond the login screen. While attackers routinely target these areas, many automated security tools still struggle to assess them effectively.

ZeroThreat.ais new Playwright-powered Application Journeys address this challenge by following real user interactions throughout an application, extending security testing into authenticated and business-critical areas often missed by conventional scanners.

“Applications have evolved dramatically over the last decade, but many security testing approaches have not,” said Dharmesh Acharya, Co-Founder of ZeroThreat.ai. “The most critical vulnerabilities are often buried deep within authenticated workflows, approval processes, user dashboards, business logic layers, and API interactions. Security teams need visibility into those areas because attackers certainly have it.”

Modern web applications rely on complex user interactions that extend beyond simple page navigation. Shopping carts, checkout flows, account management portals, subscription workflows, approval chains, and other multi-step processes often remain difficult for traditional security crawlers to fully assess.

Playwright-driven Application Journeys enable ZeroThreat.ai users to execute realistic user workflows during security testing. By following the same paths legitimate users take, the platform can identify vulnerabilities across authenticated areas, dynamic workflows, and business-critical functionality that might otherwise go untested.

This capability is particularly valuable for SaaS platforms, customer portals, enterprise applications, fintech systems, healthcare applications, and API-driven products where significant attack surfaces exist behind authentication controls.

As organizations seek deeper, context-aware security validation, testing must extend beyond publicly accessible pages and endpoints. Vulnerabilities such as authorization flaws, workflow manipulation, privilege escalation paths, session management weaknesses, and business logic issues often emerge only through realistic user behavior and multi-step interactions.

“Security testing should reflect how applications are actually used,” added Acharya. “Attackers don’t stop at the login page, and neither should security testing. Application Journeys helps organizations evaluate applications through realistic workflows, uncovering risks that traditional scanning approaches often miss.”

Integrated into the ZeroThreat.ai platform, Application Journeys enables customized testing across authenticated workflows and complex application behavior, providing security coverage that aligns with real-world application usage.

Application Journeys is available immediately for ZeroThreat.ai customers.
