OWASP Juice Shop is an intentionally insecure web application for security training, CTF challenges and testing security tools, covering the OWASP Top Ten.

LibraryCategory: Security ToolsOpen sourcedata checked Oct 15, 2026

Overview

Security teams, developers and students need a realistic target to practice finding and exploiting web vulnerabilities, but production applications are not safe to attack. OWASP Juice Shop fills that gap as a deliberately insecure web application that includes flaws from the entire OWASP Top Ten along with many other real-world security issues. The project is built as a modern JavaScript application with a full set of challenges that users can solve while learning how each vulnerability works. It is useful for security trainings, awareness demos, capture-the-flag competitions and as a test subject for vulnerability scanners and other security tools. A companion guide with hints and step-by-step solutions is available. Juice Shop is released under the MIT license and runs from source with Node.js, as a packaged distribution, in a Docker container or inside a Vagrant virtual machine. It is intended for local or isolated use only. It is maintained as an OWASP flagship project and suits application security trainers, penetration testers and developers who want to understand common web attacks hands-on.

The most trustworthy online shop out there. (@dschadow) — The best juice shop on the whole internet! (@shehackspurple) — Actually the most bug-free vulnerable application in existence! (@vanderaj) — First you 😂😂then you 😢 (@kramse) — But this doesn't have anything to do with juice. (@coderPatros' wife)

OWASP Juice Shop is probably the most modern and sophisticated insecure web application! It can be used in security trainings, awareness demos, CTFs and as a guinea pig for security tools! Juice Shop encompasses vulnerabilities from the entire OWASP Top Ten along with many other security flaws found in real-world applications!
