HelpStartConceptsAlerts
An alert is a potential vulnerability and is associated with a specific request. A request can have more than one alert.
Alerts are shown in the UI with a flag indicating the risk:
 High |
||
 Medium |
||
 Low |
||
 Informational |
||
 False Positive |
Alerts can be raised by various ZAP components, including but not limited to: active scanning, passive scanning, scripts, by addons (extensions), or manually using the Add Alert dialog (which also allows you to update or change alert details/information).
Alerts are flagged in the History tab with a flag which indicates the highest risk alert. All alerts are listed in the Alerts tab and a count of the total number of alerts by risk is shown in the footer.
