Edit Detection Severity

Each detection is assigned a severity level that tells you the security risk associated with its exploitation. Learn more

Customize the severity levels

You can easily customize the severity of findings (vulnerability/sensitive content/information gathered) reported in your web applications. The severity level change will have an impact on the dashboards, web application reports and when viewing detections. Note that you can not change the severity levels of Burp and Bugcrowd findings.

Select any finding on the Detection list and choose Edit Severity from the Quick Actions menu. Then select a new severity to set the new level of severity. When you save the new severity for the finding, a text appears below the new severity icon to  show the original severity of the finding.

Examples:

Severity is increased from level 2 to level 3: The severity icon shows finding severity set to level 3.

Severity is increased from level 2 to level 4: The severity icon shows finding severity set to level 4.

Severity is decreased from level 4 to level 2: The severity icon set at level 4.

Severity is decreased from level 5 to level 2: The severity icon shows finding severity set to level 2.

The Edit Severity option is enable only if the selected detection has same severity type and level.

To edit severity of a detection, select or hover over a web application, and from the Quick Actions menu, click Edit Severity. To edit severity of detections in bulk, select multiple detections, and from the Actions menu, click Edit Severity.
