Detailed Scan Report

The Detailed Scan Report provides both a summary and an in-depth look at the security state of your scanned website.

Invicti offers comprehensive vulnerability testing on any platform. The scanner crawls and attacks your website or web application to identify vulnerable points. While Invicti scans your web application, it also starts to display its findings. This shows the security state of your system, including how many vulnerabilities there are and how severe they are.

• With a few clicks, you can see all the technical details such as HTTP Request, HTTP Response, and proofs on each identified issue. Moreover, for any issue, Invicti provides additional information on the Impact, Actions to Take, Remedy, References, Classification, and CVSS Score. 
• If you want to see all that information within a single document, you can generate the Detailed Scan Report in HTML or PDF formats. This report presents both general and detailed information about your scan. You can share this report with others, such as support departments or developers so that they can start fixing these vulnerabilities.
• Both Invicti products allow you to generate this Detailed Scan Report. As the Detailed Scan Report includes all technical details, it mainly addresses the needs of developers and IT personnel.

The report primarily presents the Scan Metadata to provide information such as the Target URL and Scan Time/Duration. Following this metadata, you can view your overall security posture. This summary displays numerical information and doughnut charts so that you can easily identify the severity level of your web application and how many of these vulnerabilities are identified and confirmed.

Detailed Scan Report sections

There are five sections in the Detailed Scan Report:

• Scan Metadata
• Vulnerabilities
• Vulnerability Summary
• Vulnerability Names and Details
• Show Scan Details

Each is explained below.

Scan metadata

This section provides details on the following items:

• Scan Target
• Scan Time
• Scan Duration
• Description
• Total Requests
• Average Speed
• Tags
• Risk Level

For further information, see Progress, and Scan Duration and Speed.

Vulnerabilities

This provides a numerical and graphical overview of:

• Numbers            The numbers of issues detected at various Vulnerability Severity Levels
• Identified Vulnerabilities    The total number of detected vulnerabilities
• Confirmed Vulnerabilities    The total number of vulnerabilities that Invicti verified by taking extra steps such as extracting some data from the target

Vulnerability summary

This section provides a summary of information about each discovered vulnerable URL and categorizes them based on severity. For example, if Invicti determines a vulnerability as Critical, it requires immediate attention.

If you click on an identified vulnerability, you access detailed information, such as HTTP request and response codes and body, about the vulnerability and, if any, Proof of Exploit. If Invicti finds a vulnerability but has no proof of exploit, Invicti presents a certainty degree about this issue.

This table lists and explains the columns in the Vulnerability Summary.

For further information, see Vulnerability Severity Levels.

Vulnerability names and details

This section describes all identified issues and vulnerabilities, along with their Impact and Proof of Exploit. It also explains what Actions to Take and a Remedy for each one, including External References for more information.

This table lists and explains the headings in the Vulnerability Names and Details section.
