Table 1. Known issues and workarounds
Issue	Workaround
Retest of an issue may result in the status of the issue being reported as 'Fixed' even in the case the issue is not actually fixed.	If your site requires authentication, then you must set login mandatorily at scan level for Retest to provide correct re-testing status.
Retest of issue type, "Remote Command Execution on Spring MVC (CVE-2022-22965)", may result in the status of the issue being reported as 'Fixed' instead of 'Reopened' even in the case the issue is not actually fixed.	It is recommended to run a full scan of the application to confirm if this issue type is fixed.
In the Monitor tab, the issue details are not displayed when you click an issue. Instead, the error message, "CRWAS9999E An unknown error has occurred." is displayed. This issue occurs if the text content of the issue details is large.	Navigate to <ASE install Dir>\AppScan Enterprise\Liberty\usr\servers\<server instance> and add the line -Xss1024m to jvm.options and restart the 'HCL AppScan Enterprise Server' service.
Agent service shows 'Check License' status.	Restart 'HCL AppScan Agent Service' on the scanner machine.
For DAST proxy, In-session is not detected automatically when traffic is recorded by using the Firefox browser.	Add In-session manually by selecting the main page URL and clicking the In-session button or before recording traffic, turn off any Firefox plugin that creates a lot of traffic, for example, Clockify.
Removal of OWASP 2017 and support for OWASP 2021 report: All report pack and report pack templates created prior to 10.0.7 will have OWASP 2017 report.	If required, users must manually remove OWASP Top 10 2017 and add OWASP Top 10 2021 to the report pack for all existing scans and run the report pack.
In the IAST agent page you may face some UI glitch as follows:
When you click the Generate key button from the Actions dropdown, there is no response.	Refresh the page and try again.
In the generate key popup, when you click the Generate button, there is no response.	Do not click multiple times. Wait for about a minute and still if there is no response, close the pop up and try again.
When you regenerate the key for the Node.js agent, the package size may increase.	This can be ignored as it works in majority of the cases.
If the downloaded Node.js agent does not have the appropriate agent key.	Regenerate the agent key and download the agent again.
For SAST issues, when an imported job is run in the Scans tab, it now generates user-friendly names for common issues. The Monitor tab continues to use the older format of the ID, for consistency with previous releases, and will be updated in future with the user-friendly name. Due to this, if you use the same application to import source data directly into the Monitor tab, and link the same application to a Source import job run in the Scans tab, you may notice some issues classified under different issue types (such as SQL Injection, Cross Site Scripting).	If you import multiple SAST issues to AppScan Enterprise, it is recommended to use the same mechanism for all of them: either import all scans in the Monitor tab, or run all jobs as import job in the Scans tab and link to the application. There is no impact to functionality; this issue affects the display only.
The Japanese version of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI) report omits compliance details.	For more information about this issue, refer to this defect article: https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0094517
When the AppScan Enterprise UI language is set to any other language other than English, the following issues might be observed: In the Monitor page, when navigating to the “About Issue” page of a Scan Issue, the Reasoning information is always displayed in English. When UI language is set to Espanola (Spanish), the Reference API link and the How to Fix report content is displayed in English. When you select a different language and export issues from the Monitor tab, the IssueType name is displayed in English. On switching to a different language, the How to Fix (different programming language content) in the Scans tab is displayed in the previous language. The ase_plan.pdf and the Readme files are not translated.	Any change in language settings does not impact the UI functionality in any manner except for this information will be available in English language. Hence, it is recommended to continue using the functionality till these issues are address in subsequent releases.
When a user has configured the How to Fix to a port that is already in use, then from the UI user will not see an appropriate error message when trying to access the Issue details and access the How to fix link.	Rerun the Configuration Wizard pointing the How to Fix to a different port.
Given a user uploads a User Defined Tests file in the ASE UI then it will show an error message: Error connecting to the Advisory service server.	The UDT file will imports successfully into AppScan Enterprise. But the user will not see UDT issueTypeIds 'How To Fix' information in the UI OR reports. To see xml 'How To Fix' information for UDT issueTypeIds: Navigate to <ASE install Dir>\AppScan Enterprise\CustomAdvisory\advisories\archives folder path then extract the corresponding UDT IssueTypeName zip file(Example: UserDefined_UDT1.zip). User can see How To Fix/Advisory information xml (Example:UserDefined_UDT1.xml) file in <ASE install Dir>\AppScan Enterprise\CustomAdvisory\advisories\archives\Advisories\en-US folder path.
When you edit a folder from the Scan's page without making any changes to the folder's permission and click the Save button, it makes an entry in the `ActivityLog` table with action marked as 3. The action 3 indicates that the folder is edited.	You must click the Cancel button to exit from the page if you have not edited the folder permissions.
The domain name is not excluding from the traffic file generated by Postman or SoapUI tool through the ADAC client integration (file with .exd format) using the API POST/jobs/{jobId}/dastconfig/updatetraffic/{action}	You must use the .dast, .config, or .har file to exclude traffic of a domain from the traffic file.
The scans job is failing on changing the user permission of the AppScan Enterprise service account in Windows.	You must add the service account user to the Windows administrators group on both AppScan Enterprise Server and Scanner machines.
HCL scanner license check-in does not happen immediately when AppScan Agent service process is killed through the Task Manager. It would take around 15 minutes for the licenses to be released.	It is recommended to start and stop the Agent again through the services to release the licenses.
If users are not logged out before the AppScan Enterprise Server is shutdown, the open sessions can lead to the licenses not being checked in back to the pool. These licenses that get left over will be checked in back only after 2 hours.	The users should log out before the AppScan Enterprise Server is shut down.
During installation of AppScan Enterprise the installation of Visual C++ 2015 fails if an higher version Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 is already installed in the system because the application is attempting to install Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable without checking for the existence of the newer versions already exist in the system.	Uninstall the Visual C++ 2017 RC Redistributable, install the AppScan Enterprise and reinstall the Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable.
On trying to perform a QuickScan, the manual explore browser does not launch the application or the browser freezes intermediately.	Manually record the traffic through AppScan Traffic Recorder or the Activity Recorder, update the traffic, and run the QuickScan.
The product inline help is updated only for the features in this release and is available only in English language. However for the features in previous releases, English and translated content are mostly outdated. Not all related links pointing to the online help are translated.	N/A.
If the extended log file size is large (greater than 2GB), sometimes the download log file operation from Scan tab summary report might result in a 0KB zip file.	In such instances, copy the file from the Logs directory in the AppScan Enterprise Agent server.
When you edit a scan in the Dynamic Analysis Configuration Client, ensure that the scan you are editing is not running in AppScan Enterprise; otherwise it might suspend the job when you update the scan.	On the Job Properties page of the Client, clear the Run job as soon as possible check box and then click Update Job.
Rendering Dojo functionality.	Use Microsoft Silverlight with Internet Explorer 8.0 to properly render Dojo functionality.
When a scan job has only the recorded login (no Manual Explore or Starting URLs), the scan will not crawl below that page.	Add at least one URL to the Manual Explore or starting URL of the What to Scan page.
If you upgrade a database from pre-8.8, and then click any existing job, the scan log will be empty.	Run your jobs again to generate a new scan log.
When editing the Edit Application Profile Template page in IE 8/9, changes are not saved.	Navigate away from the field you are editing and return to the page and save your changes. Alternatively, upgrade the browser to Internet Explorer 11 or FireFox 24.
JavaScript Analyzer (JSA) is turned off by default on scans, including upgraded scans.	Enable JSA on the Security page of your content scan job.
There is a risk of performance degradation and false negative results when the firewall is deployed between the Agents and the website being scanned.	AppScan Enterprise Server sends security tests that some firewall products could flag as suspicious network activity.
If the user-defined normalization rules result in an empty URL string, there is a risk of the scan not ending.	When normalization rules are defined within the Job Properties, it is important to ensure that they result in a valid URL.
If Issue Management has been done on the reports, the Report Pack Summary report will be out of synchronization with the report data.	The Report Pack must be rerun to synchronize the numbers when Issue Management tasks are completed.
Deleted reports are not immediately removed from the dashboard.	The dashboard must be rerun for the change to take effect.
Connectivity issues and/or performance degradation may occur when using Manual Explore functionality in Internet Explorer.	When using Manual Explore functionality in Internet Explorer, it is advised to enable the Internet/Advanced option for Use HTTP 1.1 through proxy connections
When sorting lists, the collation order may not work as expected for Japanese, and Chinese languages.	.NET and SQL collations are used, as are locale-specific collations, but the product does not comply with ICU.
ADAC job blackout does not work for jobs created before 9.0.3.11 until an edit save is performed on the job. Root Cause: There was an issue in the application where the starting URL was not getting updated into the ASE database for an ADAC job. Since blackout reads the domain from the ASE database, it was causing blackout to not work for ADAC jobs. Since the starting URL is stored within the dast.config file, the existing jobs will have to be manually edited and saved for the URL to be stored into the ASE database.	Edit an ADAC Job (Created before 9.0.3.11). Perform an update of the job. Blackout should work as configured (similarly to Content Scan job).
