the problem

manually checking all subdomains for misconfigurations, outdated services, or exposed endpoints is time-consuming and error-prone. it often leads to missed vulnerabilities, especially in complex environments.

the solution

use the subdomain-vulnerability-ranker api to automate subdomain enumeration and vulnerability scoring. it searches dns records and certificate transparency logs to find subdomains, then evaluates their security posture.

here`s an example curl command:

bash

curl -X GET ' https://subdomain-vulnerability-ranker.apimesh.xyz/check?domain=example.com '

sample output:

{

"subdomain": "api.example.com",

"score": 85,

"issues": ["exposed admin panel", "outdated ssl"],

"details": {

"misconfigurations": true,

"exposedEndpoints": ["admin", "internal"],

"outdatedServices": ["v1 api"]

}

}

how it works

it performs deep enumeration through free dns, certificate transparency logs, and other sources to find all subdomains.…
