Why we catch it
Active probes against your running site. Pen Test tier only — requires explicit written authorization for the target.
The Live Path Traversal module sits in this category alongside 4 related modules. Together they form one of the layers of a GateTest scan — checks fire in parallel, findings cluster by root cause, and on paid tiers the AI auto-fix loop reads each finding, writes the fix, validates against the scanner, and opens a PR.
How GateTest covers live path traversal

- ●Requires explicit authorization when it ships. Live probes only ever run against a target you've proven you own — a three-layer consent check gates every run.
