Issues
Issues view provides access to the results of a scan. You can view results at a high level or select specific tests or objects and access more details. These details include how to fix, requests/responses, and differences between the test variants that resulted in issues. You can manipulate the severity of issues, resend tests (with or without modifications), and create reports based on Issues.

Welcome
Welcome to the documentation for HCL AppScan Standard version 10.4.0
Getting started
This section provides a short tour of basic product features and procedures, including using the wizard to set up a scan.
Configuration
You configure a scan by choosing settings that best describe your application, and the kind of testing you want.
Manual exploring
Manual exploring enables you to explore specific parts of your application, filling in fields and forms as you go. This can be a way of ensuring that particular areas of the site are covered, and that AppScan has the information needed to complete forms correctly.
Scanning
Learn how to start a scan, and what happens during the scan; how to manually manipulate the Explore stage, and how to export the results of a scan.
Data
Data view is populated with information about the structure of the site during the Explore stage of the scan.

CVE support

CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) is an industry standard list that provides common names for publicly known information security vulnerabilities and exposures. This makes it easier to share data across separate databases and tools. (For more details see the CVE website at: http://cve.mitre.org/)

AppScan advisories for vulnerabilities that have been assigned a CVE ID, include the reference, with a link to the description on the CVE website. (CVE IDs begin with the letters CVE for accepted vulnerabilities or CAN for candidate ones.)

You can:

View the CVE ID of a test result in the advisory for the test (see How to Fix tab)
Click on the CVE ID to link to its description on the CVE website
Include CVE IDs (as part of the advisory) in reports
See the CVE ID that is tested for by any particular test, in Test Policy view (Scan Configuration > Test Policy; see Test policy and optimization)
List all tests that have CVE IDs by searching for CVE abd CAN strings in Test Policy view
Search for a particular CVE by searching for its ID in Test Policy view
