Error Handling Issues Scanner
Analyzes error messages for information disclosure and stack traces.
What is Error Handling Issues?
Error handling testing examines how applications respond to errors, invalid inputs, and edge cases. Improper error handling can expose stack traces, database errors, file paths, internal logic, and other sensitive information that helps attackers understand and exploit the application.
Why is This Important?
Poor error handling is one of the most common sources of information disclosure. Detailed error messages give attackers insights into the application architecture, database structure, and potential vulnerabilities they can exploit.
How It Works
1. Web Crawling
Intelligent crawling discovers all endpoints, forms, parameters, and dynamic content across your web application.
2. Payload Injection
AI-powered payloads test each input vector for web vulnerabilities with context-aware attack patterns.
3. Response Analysis
Advanced analysis detects vulnerability signatures in responses, confirming exploitability with proof-of-concept.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should error messages contain?
User-facing errors should be generic and helpful ('An error occurred, please try again'). Detailed errors should only appear in server logs, never to end users.
How do database errors help attackers?
They reveal database type, table/column names, query structure, and often the exact SQL being executed. This information makes SQL injection much easier.
What about stack traces?
Stack traces reveal file paths, framework versions, function names, and code structure. They're invaluable for understanding application internals and finding vulnerabilities.
How should I implement error handling?
Catch exceptions at the appropriate level, log details server-side, return generic messages to users, and use custom error pages that don't reveal implementation details.
