Web Analysis Engine

On this page

The Web Analysis Engine supplies the browser used by Workbench assessments that need page rendering or navigation. It is managed from Settings → Components and runs only within an authorized assessment.

#Scope and setup

Set the target and authorization in the project’s assessment setup. The engine does not define the target or expand its scope, and it is not a standalone CLI scanner.

#Reading component status

Settings → Components shows whether the engine is installed, its version, and its last health check. This status describes browser-engine readiness, not an assessment result or a security finding. Assessments that need the engine can fail with a component error if it is missing or unhealthy.

#Install, update, or repair

An administrator can manage the component from Settings → Components:

  1. Install it when no engine is present.
  2. Update it when Workbench offers a newer version.
  3. Repair it when the installed engine is unhealthy.
  4. Roll back to the previous version if an update causes problems.

Use the action that matches the displayed status. If the controls are unavailable, ask a Workbench administrator. If the status remains failed, contact Eresus Guard support with the workspace name, engine version, and displayed error. Do not attach assessment traffic archives.
