        abstract = {Web applications are now increasingly essential in digital services as they are open to access and take complex inputs. At the same time, they are also a victim to security issues such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Command Injection, Directory Traversal and others through network traffic. To solve these issues, the Paper SafeWeb – An automated platform for scanning web vulnerability and detecting attack. A centralised system that uses role-based access control and automatic methods to discover and analyse security issues Users can scan websites for vulnerabilities, test for SQL Injection, and check network traffic data using this platform. It scans URL parameters, input data, and HTTP requests in an orderly manner. When an attack is detected, it classifies and logs the details such as type of attack, severity, confidence level, attack source IP address, and time of occurrence. The system includes an administrative Security Operations Center (SOC), which monitors and controls the application as well as determines users, blocks malicious IP addresses, and creates reports. SafeWeb is a suitable solution for accessing web security across the world-wide web applications and websites. The documentation provides a clear and pratical information about the vulnerabilities and the tools used in the platform. The platform is clear, simple-structured and easy to understand for the students in finding and solving the web vulnerabilities.},
