View Recent Technologies
Invicti Enterprise monitors and reports issues in third-party components such as JavaScript libraries and off-the-shelf web applications detected when scanning your target websites. These issues can be out-of-date technologies or vulnerabilities. Using outdated technologies introduces serious risks that can allow attackers to exploit vulnerabilities. That means even if your web application has no vulnerabilities, it will not be secure if it uses even a single vulnerable external library.
Refer to How Invicti identifies out-of-date technologies to learn more about the process.
This document describes how to view the list of detected technologies in your recent scans, and how to review the technologies in detail.
