# Qualys WAS

Qualys Web Application Scanning (WAS) is a Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) solution that crawls and tests live web applications and APIs for security vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), server-side request forgery (SSRF), and authentication weaknesses.

Connecting Qualys WAS to OX imports DAST findings from Qualys and enriches them with additional context from across the OX platform.

Imported findings include the vulnerability details and remediation guidance provided by Qualys. OX augments this information with additional security context and investigation capabilities, helping teams understand the impact and priority of each finding.

When investigating a Qualys WAS finding in OX, you can view:

* Vulnerability descriptions imported from Qualys
* Remediation recommendations imported from Qualys
* CVE and CWE information, when available
* OWASP classifications
* A link to the original finding in Qualys
* The affected URLs associated with the finding
* HTTP request details
* HTTP response details

> **Note**

> Qualys WAS uses the same credentials that you use to sign in to the [Qualys](/ox-integrations/3rd-party-integrations/cloud-context/qualys.md) platform. No API token is required.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ox.security/ox-integrations/3rd-party-integrations/dynamic-app-security/qualys-was.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
