urlscan - Q1/2025 improvements
Over the course of Q1/2025 we have made the following improvements to the urlscan platform:
Improved data capture within iframes
Our threat research team will sometimes encounter legitimate hosting services which are used to stage links to malicious third-party websites. For some of these file-hosting services, any user-supplied content and outgoing links reside in iframes, often on different web origins. Our scanning engine now correctly captures the content, HTTP requests, and outgoing links of these iframes.
urlscan Pro: Custom Javascript injection for Live Scanning
For our Live Scanning tool within urlscan Pro we have added support for customer-supplied Javascript code which is inserted and executed in our scanning engine before the requested page is scanned. The Javascript code runs in the context of the website that is about to scanned.
urlscan Pro: User seat tracking for customer accounts
Our commercial plans have always included a fixed number of so-called seats for urlscan Pro. These seats govern how many unique users within an account are able to access the urlscan Pro platform on any given day. The seats included with each subscription are always floating seats, meaning that they can be taken by any user on a customer account on a first-come-first-serve basis on any given day.
To this day the seat limits have not been enforced on a technical level and we have rarely issued warnings to customers that exceeded their assigned seat limits. Starting today we will track seats that have been used per customer account and will show that information back to our users. If a seat limit is exceeded we will now show a warning messages within the urlscan Pro platform. This will give our customers the ability to inspect their current seat use and identify which of their users are using the urlscan Pro platform.
With a future update in Q3/2025 we will start to enforce these limits. For customers that have taken all of their assigned seats within a given day, we will prevent any additional users from that team from accessing the urlscan Pro platform.
