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.

CWE support

CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) is an industry standard list that provides common names for publicly known software weaknesses. This makes it easier to share data across separate databases and tools. (For more details see the CWE website at: http://cwe.mitre.org/)

AppScan advisories for vulnerabilities that have been assigned a CWE ID include the reference number, and a link to the description on the CWE website. Where specific vulnerabilities have their own CWE ID (in addition to the ID for the issue), this is shown in the Variant Details pane.

You can:

View the CWE ID for an issue in the advisory for that issue (see How to Fix tab)
View the CWE ID for a variant, and its parent issue, in the Variant Details tab (see Variant details)
Click on the CWE ID to link to its description on the CWE website
Include CWE IDs (as part of the advisory) in reports
Search for a particular CWE by searching for its reference number in Test Policy view

For the version of the CWE database used in the current version of AppScan, refer to the Release Notes located in [AppScan Standard installation directory]\Docs. If a daily update changes the database used, the change will be listed in the Update Log (Help menu > Update Log).
