Triaging DAST Vulnerabilities

Checkmarx One tracks specific risk instances throughout your software development life cycle (SDLC). Each risk instance has a Predicate associated with it, comprising the following attributes: State, Severity, and Notes. After reviewing the scan results, you can triage them and modify these predicates accordingly.

You can adjust the predicate for a specific risk while viewing that risk on the All Risks page.

When changing the Result State to Not Exploitable or Proposed Not Exploitable, a note is required to confirm the change. A change log at the bottom tracks all past changes for a single result. When multiple results are updated, the Edit title includes the number of selected results, and hovering over the State dropdown displays them.

Notice

You need dast-update-result-not-exploitable, dast-update-result-state-propose-not-exploitable, and add-notes permissions to use this feature.
