ACSTIS helps you to scan certain web applications for AngularJS Client-Side Template Injection (sometimes referred to as CSTI, sandbox escape or sandbox bypass). It supports scanning a single request but also crawling the entire web application for the AngularJS CSTI vulnerability.
First make sure you're on Python 2.7/3.4 or higher. Then run the command below to install ACSTIS.
$ pip install https://github.com/tijme/angularjs-csti-scanner/archive/master.zip
Scan a single URL
acstis -d "https://finnwea.com/some/page/?category=23"
Scan a single URL (and verify that the alert pops)
acstis -vp -d "https://finnwea.com/some/page/?category=23"
Scan an entire domain
acstis -c -d "https://finnwea.com/"
Scan an entire domain (and stop if a vulnerability was found)
acstis -c -siv -d "https://finnwea.com/"
Trust the given certificate
acstis -d "https://finnwea.com/some/page/?category=23" -tc "/Users/name/Desktop/cert.pem"
All command line options
usage: acstis [-h] -d DOMAIN [-c] [-vp] [-av ANGULAR_VERSION] [-vrl VULNERABLE_REQUESTS_LOG] [-siv] [-pmm] [-sos] [-soh] [-sot] [-md MAX_DEPTH] [-mt MAX_THREADS] [-iic] [-tc TRUSTED_CERTIFICATES]
required arguments:
-d DOMAIN, --domain DOMAIN the domain to scan (e.g. finnwea.com)
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c, --crawl use the crawler to scan all the entire domain
-vp, --verify-payload use a javascript engine to verify if the payload was executed (otherwise false positives may occur)
-av ANGULAR_VERSION, --angular-version ANGULAR_VERSION manually pass the angular version (e.g. 1.4.2) if the automatic check doesn't work
-vrl VULNERABLE_REQUESTS_LOG, --vulnerable-requests-log VULNERABLE_REQUESTS_LOG log all vulnerable requests to this file (e.g. /var/logs/acstis.log or urls.log)
-siv, --stop-if-vulnerable (crawler option) stop scanning if a vulnerability was found
-pmm, --protocol-must-match (crawler option) only scan pages with the same protocol as the startpoint (e.g. only https)
-sos, --scan-other-subdomains (crawler option) also scan pages that have another subdomain than the startpoint
-soh, --scan-other-hostnames (crawler option) also scan pages that have another hostname than the startpoint
-sot, --scan-other-tlds (crawler option) also scan pages that have another tld than the startpoint
-md MAX_DEPTH, --max-depth MAX_DEPTH (crawler option) the maximum search depth (default is unlimited)
-mt MAX_THREADS, --max-threads MAX_THREADS (crawler option) the maximum amount of simultaneous threads to use (default is 20)
-iic, --ignore-invalid-certificates (crawler option) ignore invalid ssl certificates
-tc TRUSTED_CERTIFICATES, --trusted-certificates TRUSTED_CERTIFICATES (crawler option) trust this CA_BUNDLE file (.pem) or directory with certificates
Authentication, Cookies, Headers, Proxies & Scope options
These options are not implemented in the command line interface of ACSTIS. Please download the extended.py script and extend it with one or more of the following code snippets. You can paste these code snippets in the main() method of the extended.py script.
Please note: if you use the extended.py file make sure you call python extended.py [your arguments] instead of acstis [your arguments].

]The testing can and will automatically be done by Travis CI on every push. If you want to manually run the unit tests, use the command below.
$ python -m unittest discover
