Retest a finding

Retest verifies that a vulnerability is fixed. It re-runs the original attack against your app and updates the finding. A retest is free: it does not use a credit and does not start a new pentest.

Retests are available for a limited period after the pentest (the retest window). Once it closes, the button says so, and a new pentest covers it.

Retest one finding

  1. Open Findings and select the finding.
  2. Click Re-test in the details panel.
  3. The finding shows Re-testing while it runs. The result lands in the finding when it finishes: Fixed if the attack no longer works, or still Open with fresh evidence.

Retest several findings

  1. Open the run.
  2. In the run header, click Retest fixed (preselects the findings you marked fixed) or Retest....
  3. Check the findings you want and start the re-test.

What happens next

  • A finding that was fixed and later comes back is shown as Regressed.
  • The next pentest on the same app also re-checks open findings first, before looking for anything new.
  • Regenerate your report afterwards so it reflects the retest results.
