Issue management rules - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's Burp Suite DAST lets users create issue management rules that apply one decision about an issue to every matching issue on a site, setting status to False positive or Accepted risk or changing severity, and applying both to existing issues and to issues found in later scans. A rule covers one site and one issue type, URL matching is exact and case-sensitive, a site can have one status rule and one severity rule per issue type and URL, and a second rule of the same kind replaces the first.
What you should know: A rule that sets severity cannot be overridden by later scans, and deleting a rule stops it applying to future scans but leaves already-changed issues at their new status or severity, so reversing a decision means changing those issues yourself.
