Point ZAP at a deployed URL from any of these builders. It is not a plugin inside the builder, and active scans can be noisy. Get permission and use a non-production target first.

What it is

Zed Attack Proxy is the OWASP project for finding vulnerabilities in web apps. You run it yourself. It can intercept traffic, spider a site, and run active scans. The project also documents automation for CI.

It is a general-purpose DAST tool, not a vibe-coding product. There is no hosted “paste a Lovable URL” flow. You install it, point it at a target you are allowed to test, and read the alerts.

Best for: Someone who can run a local or CI scanner and wants an industry-standard DAST tool with no license fee.

Watch-outs

  • You operate it. There is no vendor watching the scan for you.
  • Active scans send attack traffic. Do not point that at a system you do not own.

Our take

Opinion from ShipSafeStack. Not a score, not a certification, and not a sponsorship.

The right tool when you want a scanner you control and you are willing to learn it. It is the wrong first click if you wanted a two-minute hosted report. Active scanning against production without a plan can break things or trip alarms.
