Commoditizing PHP security

Commoditizing PHP security:

We think it’s time to commoditize PHP web application security. You may have heard of Chorizo!. We’re proud to announce that from now on it’s possible to register for a free account on chorizo-scanner.com.

We think that everyone should be able to find usual security bugs like XSS (especially with nowadays Web2.0 applications), SQL injection (i.e. in MySQL queries), Remote Code inclusion/execution, Session injection, PHP vulnerabilities and the like. As Chorizo! is based on a plugin architecture, it is likely that we’ll add more and more plugins for detecting new vulnerabilites.

This might be a good and worthwhile thing to investigate for some projects. So does one build in the cost to the development… or maintenance?
