Managing issues in Burp Suite DAST - Port Swigger
Summary: PortSwigger's documentation describes how users of Burp Suite DAST can manage scan findings after a scan, setting statuses such as False positive or Accepted risk, adding comments, and editing severity, with each change recorded in the issue's timeline along with the time, date, and username. Statuses persist across later scans of the site, and choosing a wider scope creates an issue management rule that applies the decision to matching issues in future scans.
What you should know: Issues marked False positive or Accepted risk do not cause CI/CD pipeline builds to fail, so the status a reviewer sets directly determines whether a build proceeds. A wider-scope decision also creates a rule that later scans cannot override for severity, meaning one review choice can quietly shape every future scan of that site.
