HelpStartConceptsAlerts
An alert is a potential vulnerability and is associated with a specific request. A request can have more than one alert.
Alerts are shown in the UI with a flag indicating the risk:
 High |
||
 Medium |
||
 Low |
||
 Informational |
||
 False Positive |
Alerts can be raised either via active scanning or manually using the Add Alert dialog. This dialog also allows you to change alerts.
Alerts are flagged in the History tab with a flag which indicates the highest risk alert. All alerts are listed in the Alerts tab and a count of the total number of alerts by risk is shown in the footer.
