Scanning

This document explains the available scanning settings and their functions. To view and manage them, you must have the relevant permissions or the Owner role.

Why it matters​

Scanning settings apply organization-wide and affect how scans behave across all targets and users in your organization. Configuring them intentionally keeps your security program productive: schedules get protection against repeated failures, verified fixes move out of the queue faster, and teams can access advanced scan behavior when needed.

Scan controls​

Use Scan controls settings to configure organization-wide scan behavior, including how vulnerabilities are verified, how scan schedules are protected, and whether users can access advanced scan options.

Automatically rescan vulnerabilities when marked as Fixed (Unconfirmed)​

When enabled, changing a vulnerability status to Fixed (Unconfirmed), manually or via issue tracker integration, automatically triggers a new scan to verify the fix.

note

The option is enabled by default and applies to scans across the organization.

Refer to the following documents for information on:

Scan schedule failure limit​

Invicti automatically turns off a scan schedule after a configurable number of consecutive failures. The default is 5 consecutive failures.

note

For full details on how this setting works, including notification behavior and how to turn a schedule back on, refer to the Scan schedule failure limit document.

Allow users to configure advanced scan configurations​

When enabled, this setting allows users to access Advanced settings when editing targets. These advanced settings provide additional exclusion options for more granular scan control, including CSS selector and XPath expression exclusions.
