Issue severity levels

In the case of individual issues, the severity icon indicates the severity level of the issue; in the case of Issue Types and URLs, it indicates the most severe of all issues under that node.

Severity level is calculated based on CVSS 3.1 scoring, taking into account environment definitions you can optionally configure. In addition, you can manually change the severity level of individual issues or groups of issues.
