Implementation Reference
- src/tools/service-specific.ts:145-209 (handler)The core handler function that executes the test_web_application tool. It performs technology-specific tests for CMS like WordPress (using WPScan), Drupal, Joomla, web servers, and common web vulnerabilities (Nikto). Aggregates findings and generates recommendations.
