Review scan results
The All scans page provides a list of all scans performed, including information about the scan profile, the time and date when the scan was performed, a count of vulnerabilities found for each severity level, and the current status of each scan. Findings that we can attribute to API specs are flagged with an API tag. API specs can come from manual uploads to a target/scan configuration, linked to a target/scan configuration, or linked from API Discovery.
From the All scans page, you can access the results of each scan, which are displayed on the Scan Details page. This document provides high-level information about the Scan Details page and the information you can review there.
Access scan results
When a scan is complete, Invicti emails you a summary of the results and a link to access the scan results directly. You can also access the scan results by following these steps in Invicti:
- Select Scans > All scans from the left-side menu.
- Click on the target for the relevant scan.
- The Scan details page opens. Use the tabs to view the scan results information.
For scheduled scans, only the latest scan result for a specific target is displayed when you open the scan. In contrast, if you run multiple scans manually, each result is shown separately. Scheduling a scan consolidates the view, showing only the most recent result for that target. |
The Scan Details page provides information about the scan results, grouped under six tabs. Each tab is explained below.
Scan summary
The Scan summary tab provides an overall threat level rating for the target based on the number and severity of vulnerabilities discovered by the scanner. It also displays the number of open vulnerabilities by severity, a summary of the scan parameters and activities during the scan, and the most vulnerable technologies detected on the target.
Vulnerabilities
This is the list of detected vulnerabilities, ordered by severity. You can filter the information by severity, status, and target type. For example, you may choose to view only Critical and High severity vulnerabilities with a status of ‘Fixed’.
On the right-hand side, you have the option to change which columns are displayed. Click on a vulnerability from the list to view all information about the detection and to change the vulnerability status.
To learn more about the vulnerabilities detail refer to the linked document.
Runtime SCA findings
This tab is only available for scans that were run using the Full Scan profile. Information will not be displayed if a different scan profile was used. |
This section lists technologies used by the scanned target that have been identified as out of date. These are not classified as active vulnerabilities and will not appear in the Vulnerabilities list. However, they may still pose a risk due to the use of outdated software versions.
Select a technology to view details about its detection and recommended remediation steps.
For more information, see the documentation on Runtime SCA Findings.
Site structure
Use this section to check that the scan has covered all parts of your target and to identify vulnerabilities affecting a specific file or folder. Click on a folder to expand the site structure tree and display the vulnerabilities detected in that part of your target. You can also click on a vulnerability to show more information about the attack details, impact, and how to fix it.
Activity
The Activity tab provides a list of the scan events, showing when the scan started and completed, and if any errors were encountered during the scan. Click on an item to reveal more details about the scan event.
