Manually changing the states of vulnerabilities

When working in the Vulnerabilities section, you can manually switch vulnerabilities from the Active state to the Accepted state, and vice versa. When working in the Assets section, you can switch vulnerabilities only from the Active state to the Accepted state.

You can also switch a vulnerability from the Active state to the Accepted state when the Resolved status is assigned to events that are associated with this vulnerability (for example, a vulnerability detection event). In addition, the Resolved status will also be assigned to all other events that are connected to this vulnerability.

To manually change the state of a vulnerability:

1. Open the details area or the window containing detailed information about the vulnerability.
2. Depending on which state you want to assign to the vulnerability, click one of the following buttons:
   • Accepted – if you want to switch the vulnerability from the Active state to the Accepted state.
   • Active – if you want to switch the vulnerability from the Accepted state back to the Active state.

   A window with a confirmation prompt opens.

3. Click OK.
