Issue statuses - Port Swigger
Summary: Burp Suite DAST assigns each issue a status that tracks where it sits in its lifecycle, with scanner-set statuses that users cannot change and separate statuses teams set to record their own assessment. An issue carries a single status at any time, and teams can apply False positive or Accepted risk to every issue of the same type at a URL or site through an issue management rule, which also covers matching issues found in later scans.
Bottom line: A status set on a single issue persists with that issue in every later scan of the site, so an assessment recorded once keeps shaping how that finding is read long after the person who made it has moved on.
