Retest vulnerabilities

You can retest those vulnerabilities that are fixed by developers to confirm that they are fixed. When you select Retest, Invicti Platform runs a new scan using a custom scanning profile restricted to the specific vulnerability.

• If an Invicti scan confirms that the vulnerability is not found anymore, you can mark it as Fixed.
• If an Invicti scan identifies that the vulnerability is found, it is listed as Rediscovered.
• If a new scan identifies the vulnerability you marked as Fixed previously, Invicti lists it as Rediscovered on the vulnerability page.
• All vulnerabilities are retestable.

This document explains how to retest found vulnerabilities after a fix was done.
