Description

Hey! I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this, but could you update the Scanning Login-Protected Targets with Nuclei v3.2 blog post and fix the template in the dynamic section? The blog post ranks higher in google than the docs, so a lot of people might get stuck because the examples in the blog post don't work.

The template in the blog post:

There are two issues:

  1. The template still includes variables with name: instead of key: which was fixed in this repo 5 months ago.
  2. The template in the blog doesn't include the input: property. Without it I get the following error:
[FTL] Could not fetch dynamic secret: no extracted values found for dynamic secret

It's marked as optional in the docs here, but I have hardcoded urls in my login template, but I'm still getting the error.
