Retest vulnerabilities

You can retest those vulnerabilities that are fixed by developers to confirm that they're 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 isn't found anymore, you can mark it as Fixed.
  • If an Invicti scan identifies that the vulnerability is found, it's 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.
