Triage and analysis
Grouping similar findings allows security analysts or IT auditors to segment and triage source code problems. This section explains how to triage AppScan® Source assessments and analyze results.
Modifying findings
Modified findings are findings that have changed vulnerability types, classifications, or severities - or that have annotations. The Modified Findings view displays these findings for the current application (the application that is active as a result of opening an assessment for it). In the My Assessments view (available only in AppScan® Source for Analysis), the Modified column indicates if a finding has changed in the current assessment.
Making modifications from a findings table
You may want to modify findings via a findings table if you will be making the same changes to multiple files. If you will be modifying an individual finding, use a findings table or the Finding Detail view.
Modifying severity
Selecting a new severity level changes the severity for each selected finding. For example, AppScan® Source might report that an API is of medium severity, but your corporate policy identifies it as more severe. You can modify the severity to meet your requirements, but note that AppScan Source remediation assistance does not contain the modification.
