The original question was about "command line utility" and not online scanners... But nevertheless, they in particular use JS emulator and other related technology among the tools... As well, I don't think that other scanners don't know about the nature of web and are relying on pure static analysis... anyway, it is better than nothing and will become even more better and sophisticated as it emerges as any other technology solutions...
