An edge server of a cloud-based application vulnerability detection service receives a first request from a requesting device to access a resource hosted by an origin server. The edge server can determine that the first request has indications of including malicious content and block the first request. The edge server can then send a second request to a test environment of the origin server, where the second request is based on the first request. The edge server then receives a response from the origin server responsive to the second request. The cloud-based application vulnerability detection service can analyze the response to determine that the origin server has a vulnerability. The cloud-based application vulnerability detection service then provides information to a customer associated with the origin server indicating that the vulnerability has been blocked by the cloud-based application vulnerability detection service and that the origin server is subject to the vulnerability.
