Apply CVSS 3.1 to legacy results

How to update a scan run with an older CVSS version.

About this task

In AppScan 10.2.0, the version of CVSS scoring used was updated to 3.1. If you open a scan from an earlier version of AppScan, the results use CVSS 2.0 scoring. It is recommended to update the scoring to CVSS 3.1. Until you update, some actions will be restricted.

Procedure

In Issues view, right-click the Actions button at the top right of the list, and select Apply CVSS 3.1 scoring to results.
