How do I see the exact payload used to prove a finding?

Quick answer

Open the finding, click the Evidence tab, and read the Payload injected block. It is a code block holding the exact input the scan sent. The same input also appears inside the raw request in the HTTP request block, so you can see it in context.

Steps

  1. Go to Issues and click the finding's row. Or use a scan's Findings tab.
  2. Click the Evidence tab.
  3. Look under the Authentication line for Payload injected.
  4. Copy the text from the code block if you want to reuse it in a test that you are allowed to run.

Good to know

This block shows the exact payload, which makes it easy to see which field carried it, because the same text appears in the body of the HTTP request block just below. Short and traceable.

Read the payload together with the Description on the Summary tab. The description names the field or parameter involved and explains why the input worked. Together they tell your developers where to look and what to change, which saves a lot of back and forth in a fix ticket.

  • Never paste a payload into a system you are not allowed to test.
  • For the full sequence, not only the input, follow the Reproduction steps.
  • Treat the payload as evidence, not as a secret, since it is just text that the scan sent.

If a finding has no Payload injected block, check the request block for what was sent. Weaker findings, graded Likely or Unconfirmed, can carry less evidence than Confirmed ones. See how to see the request and response and how to reproduce a finding.
