Extending the Artemis scanner

30 Jan 2026

Artemis is a modular vulnerability scanner that checks multiple aspects of website security and builds easy-to-read messages to send to organizations to get the vulnerabilities fixed. Multiple national-level CSIRTs use it to improve the security of their constituencies - for example, since 2023, CERT PL has used Artemis to find and report more than a million vulnerabilities.

The goal is to improve the number and quality of detected vulnerabilities. There may be multiple ways of achieving this goal:

  • Extend Artemis with modules detecting new types of vulnerabilities (for example, by integrating existing open-source tools),
  • Improve Artemis in other aspects such as performance or ease of use.

The primary required skills are Python programming and familiarity with Linux and Docker. Familiarity with web security topics is also desired.
