This is an informational notice that the scanner was able to detect forms with fields collecting Personal Identifying Information (PII) data. Examples of PII data include, but are not limited to, names, email addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers, and financial information.

This is an informational plugin to inform the user that the scanner has detected a UUID/GUID version 1.

UUID/GUID version 1 contains the MAC address of the computer that generated it, as well as a timestamp. This means that if an attacker can obtain a UUID/GUID version 1, they can infer host identity and generation time, and—because v1 embeds largely deterministic fields predict other identifiers generated around the same time (e.g., by enumerating timestamps/clock sequence). This enables correlation, enumeration, and token‑guessing attacks when v1 is used for security‑sensitive values.

The scanner has detected a potential user enumeration vulnerability in the web application. This vulnerability allows an attacker to determine valid usernames by observing the application's responses.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) configuration files allow specific softwares such as IDEs like Cursor to interact with MCP servers. These files may contain sensitive information which could assist an attack to conduct further attacks.

Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is a very popular Single Sign On (SSO) feature offering identity federation to organizations. An ADFS server can be configured to show a login page to connect to corporate applications directly from this Identity Provider (IdP). When enabled, this web page will disclose all the SAML configured applications. By leveraging this information, a remote and unauthenticated attacker can gather additional information on the target organization assets to conduct further attacks.

Most of the web applications rely on various public services to provide features to their users. In secure designs, consuming these private or cloud services will require authentication like API and private keys, username and password based credentials and similar sensitive data.

Developers sometimes hard code such data in various places of their applications, without realizing that it could become publicly available in client-side JavaScript or, for example, HTML comments. By leveraging these sensitive information, a remote and unauthenticated attacker could gain privileged access to critical services used by the web application and the organization.
