What this page helps you understand
A security scanner must be safe itself. Fixnx uses bounded checks, scope controls, masked tokens, and confidence labels to reduce risk.

Scanner safety is part of product trust
Security scanning should not become a source of new risk. Fixnx avoids destructive checks, keeps payloads bounded, and masks sensitive artifacts in reports.
The product also avoids false certainty. Findings are labeled by confidence so users know whether exploitability was confirmed or only suggested.
For authenticated scans, provide only scoped test accounts and rotate credentials when testing is complete.
Public scans are scoped around externally visible website behavior such as headers, forms, cookies, discovered routes, browser-rendered evidence, and exposed resources. More sensitive authorization claims require authenticated context and should be reviewed carefully.
Fixnx treats coverage limitations as part of the report. If a target blocks requests, redirects heavily, or prevents browser rendering, the report should explain the limitation instead of pretending the website was fully tested.
Example Fixnx finding
Issue: Missing browser security header
Risk: Medium
Evidence: A recommended browser protection header was not present on tested responses.
Recommended fix: Add the missing header, test it on staging, deploy, and rescan to confirm the evidence changed.
Browser hardening cannot fix vulnerable code, but it can reduce common attack impact and improve security posture.
What to fix first
- Critical exposed files, admin panels, secrets, or takeover paths.
- Broken HTTPS, missing redirects, weak SSL/TLS behavior, or unsafe cookie handling.
- Confirmed injection, XSS, access-control, authentication, or sensitive API evidence.
- High-impact security headers and browser protections that reduce attack impact.
- Medium and low hardening recommendations after the risky public evidence is fixed.

FAQ
Does Fixnx store raw tokens?
Report output is designed to store and display masked token previews rather than raw secrets.
Does Fixnx scan out-of-scope domains?
Fixnx is designed to keep scans scoped to the target host unless broader scope is explicitly supported.
Can a scan prove a website is fully secure?
No. A scan reports the evidence it collected within scope. It should be paired with secure development practices and deeper testing for critical workflows.
What can I do after reading Fixnx Security?
Run a Fixnx scan, review the evidence, fix the highest-risk public issues first, and rescan after deployment so the report reflects the current site.
Is Fixnx only for security teams?
No. Fixnx is written for developers, agencies, founders, and security teams that need practical website risk evidence without a long setup process.
