Edit a submitted report

As a pentester, you are able to change the bug description, report details, or the CVSS score of all submitted reports.

ℹ️When partitioning is enabled, pentesters can only edit the reports they have submitted.

  • Click on “Edit”(pencil icons)

  • Click on “Save”

Export the report

It is possible to export a single report in CSV, XLS, JSON, or PDF.

  • Click on “Export”

  • Choose a format in the drop down menu

  • A new file is now available in your downloads folder

Send comments to the team

  • Go to “Actions”

  • Click on “Add comment”

  • Write a comment. Markdown is supported and can be previewed with the dedicated “Preview” tab

  • Click on “Post comment”

ℹ️ You can edit and comment all vulnerability reports from a Pentest campaign, even if they were submitted by other pentesters.

Discard a report

It is possible for a pentester to discard a report they have written. The report will be set to “Auto Close”.

  • Click on the “Discard my report” tab to remove a vulnerability report

  • This report will be automatically classified as Auto Close

⚠️ Auto close reports won’t be completely removed from the vulnerability center and will appear in the final report as an unfixed vulnerability.

Therefore, it is recommended to keep that report and fully edit it with a completely new vulnerability , rather than discarding the report and creating a new one.
