Viewing issues
The Issues section in Acunetix 360 provides various lists of the vulnerabilities detected in scans run by your entire team. The four submenus give an overview of issues that have been assigned to you, issues that are awaiting a retest, issues that have been addressed, and all detected issues.
This document provides information about viewing your detected vulnerabilities on each of these issues pages and the actions you can take, such as assigning issues or changing their status, sending issues to an integrated issue tracking system, or viewing more detailed information about a particular vulnerability.
TIP: You can also view issues using the Issues API Endpoints, enabling you to easily integrate with other applications or internal systems. |
