Web Pages With Inputs Node

This document is for:
Invicti Standard, Invicti Enterprise On-Premises, Invicti Enterprise On-Demand

Websites and applications have become increasingly interactive to allow for active user input. For example, they accept users’ inputs and comments, and allow them to become members. While this increases reciprocity between website and user, malicious hackers can misuse this interaction to attack websites and applications.

This is why injection attacks, such as SQL Injection, have begun to appear in the OWASP Top Ten. Attackers can use input points to load their malicious code, which is then executed within trusted content. It is important to know these input points and sanitize them as much as possible.

Invicti scans your web application and provides a list of form inputs found in the target application. This list can be used by developers and QA staff to carry out further manual testing. Security professionals find such information beneficial, since it provides them with a better overview of the possible attack surfaces in a web application.

Once the scan is completed, all web pages with inputs are listed under the Web Pages With Inputs node in the Knowledge Base. You can access the same information in the Knowledge Base Report and Knowledge Base Tab.

Invicti forms Knowledge Base nodes on its findings. If a Web Page With Inputs node is not listed, it means that Invicti did not find any.

For further information, see Knowledge Base Nodes.
