Email Addresses Node

Malicious hackers can engineer phishing or spear-phishing attacks by sending emails that contain fake information and links. Also  we all receive many unwanted emails for commercial or other irrelevant reasons if our email addresses are published or shared without our permission.

Having clear text email addresses on a website is not in itself a vulnerability. But it is good to know what email addresses are published on the website. It prompts you to take further precautions to protect your data.

During the scan, Invicti detects email addresses accessible from the scanned web application and lists them in the Email Addresses node in the Knowledge Base.

Once the scan is completed, all email addresses exposed on the website are listed under the Email Addresses 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 based on its findings. If the Email Addresses node is not listed, it means that Invicti did not detect any.
