Coveragestrong3 of 4 applicable core capabilities
Legitimate OWASP Juice Shop project page, with no demonstrated scam mechanism
The domain redirects to the Juice Shop documentation site, which identifies the project as volunteer-maintained, labels it a flagship project, and links to its source and distribution resources. No supplied evidence demonstrates phishing, malware delivery, deceptive sales, or another commercial scam flow. A stale antivirus result and adverse reports concerning the hosting IP warrant some caution but do not establish harmful behavior by this site.

01 · Investigation Brief
Investigation Brief
The domain redirects to the Juice Shop documentation site, which identifies the project as volunteer-maintained, labels it a flagship project, and links to its source and distribution resources. No supplied evidence demonstrates phishing, malware delivery, deceptive sales, or another commercial scam flow. A stale antivirus result and adverse reports concerning the hosting IP warrant some caution but do not establish harmful behavior by this site.
Project identity and destination
Visiting owasp-juice.shop redirects to juice-shop.github.io. The destination says that OWASP Juice Shop was created by Björn Kimminich and is developed, maintained, and translated by volunteers; it also labels the project a flagship project.
The page links across domains to project-oriented resources including GitHub and SourceForge, rather than presenting an observed checkout or payment path.
Technical warnings are limited and do not show a malicious visitor flow
The saved checks found a valid encrypted connection and no Safe Browsing threat warning. These checks are supportive but cannot prove operator safety on their own.
The hosting IP had a high volume of saved abuse reports, and one antivirus family produced an adverse result in a stale aggregate observation. Neither item identifies a malicious action performed by the reviewed page, so they reduce the score modestly rather than outweighing the project-specific evidence.
Why the score is 88
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
