Web

Access and error logging, and how attacker-controlled request data reaches a log line
Products and areas
-
LSAPI, CGI, FastCGI and proxy handlers, and every path where request data reaches an external process
Products and areas
-
PHP process management, covering how lsphp workers are spawned, reused between requests and torn down
Products and areas
-
Static file serving, path resolution, rewrite rules and the .htaccess compatibility layer
Products and areas
-
The cache module and its key derivation, since a keying defect serves one visitor's response to another
Products and areas
-
The configuration parser and the virtual-host model, including how one tenant's configuration is kept out of another's reach on a shared server
Products and areas
-
The control interface, the signal handling and the files used to reload or restart a running server
Products and areas

The core HTTP engine across HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, covering request parsing, header handling, framing and connection reuse
Products and areas
-
The reverse proxy path to backend servers and the trust it places in a backend response
Products and areas
-
The vendor's security page states its scope as LiteSpeed Web Server, LiteSpeed Web ADC, OpenLiteSpeed and others, so the whole product is accepted rather than a named list of components
Products and areas
-
The WebAdmin console in full: authentication, session handling, every configuration form and every action it can invoke on the host
Products and areas
-
TLS termination, certificate handling and SNI-based virtual host selection
Products and areas
No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.
Out of scope 6
Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.
-
Configurations that expose WebAdmin to the internet on default credentials, an operator decision rather than a server defect
-
Denial of service proportional to request volume with no amplification factor
-
Findings that apply only to the commercial builds with no effect on the open source product, though the vendor accepts reports on both
-
LiteSpeed Cache for WordPress, a separate product run by a different team with its own reward ecosystem
-
PHP itself and other backends reached over LSAPI, CGI or FastCGI
-
Third-party control panels that generate OpenLiteSpeed configuration
