It is extremely time consuming to manually dig through the source code to identify all the outdated and vulnerable libraries of our web application. We can automate this task a bit with the Retire.js. It is available from both the browser(Chrome, Firefox)and the Burpa plugin.
"Using components with known vulnerabilities" is the ninth largest threat to web applications according to OWASP Top 10. Vulnerable libraries can cause a security error in the application that uses them. This is a high risk that is worth identifying and eliminating. Retire.js is to help detect versions of components that have known security vulnerabilities.
