Issue

A potential security vulnerability that has been identified on one of your sites by a scan.

Fields

issue_type(): IssueType
The type of issue that was found by a scan, for example, an SQL injection vulnerability.
confidence(): Confidence!
Indicates how confident Burp Scanner is that the identified issue is a genuine vulnerability. This reflects the inherent reliability of the technique that was used to identify the issue.
display_confidence(): Confidence
Deprecated: Replaced by confidence/original confidence
The confidence that was manually set by a user. At the moment, this can only be used to mark an issue as a false positive.
original_confidence(): Confidence
The original confidence of the issue as reported by the scanner.
serial_number(): ID!
A unique identifier for the individual instance of the issue.
severity(): Severity!
Indicates how dangerous the identified issue is. The higher the severity level, the larger the impact is likely to be if an attacker is able to exploit this vulnerability.
original_severity(): Severity!
The original severity of the issue as reported by the scanner.
accepted_risk(): Boolean!
Indicates whether the issue has been marked as accepted risk.
description_html(): String
A description of this occurrence of the issue, including information about how it arose and how it could potentially be exploited by an attacker.
remediation_html(): String
A brief overview of measures you can take to try and resolve this issue.
path(): String!
The URL path at which the issue was found, excluding the query string.
origin(): String!
The host on which the issue was found.
novelty(): Novelty
Indicates this issue's relationship to the results of the previous scan, for example, whether this is a new issue that was not identified by the previous scan.
evidence(): [Evidence!]
A list of evidence that the scan found for the issue, such as the HTTP request and response that can be exploited.
tickets(): [Ticket!]
A list of tickets that are linked to this issue. Note that this is only applicable if you have configured the integration between Burp Suite Enterprise Edition and Jira using the REST API.
generated_by_extension(): GeneratedByExtension
The extension that generated the issue, if there is one.
generated_by_bcheck(): GeneratedByBCheck
The BCheck that generated the issue, if there is one.
false_positive_note(): String
Deprecated: Replaced by change_history
Note submitted when the issue was marked as a false positive.
false_positive_timestamp(): Timestamp
Deprecated: Replaced by change_history
Timestamp when the issue was marked as a false positive.
false_positive_username(): String
Deprecated: Replaced by change_history
Name of the user who marked the issue as a false positive.
fingerprint(): String
A unique identifier for the issue that can be used to track it across scans.
change_history(): [IssueChangeHistory!]
Change history for this issue
