Viewing vulnerability scan reports
The Report tab in Tools > Vulnerability Scan displays a list of the finished
vulnerability scan reports.
Vulnerability scan reports reflect the results of the vulnerability scan job, and
include both summaries and detailed module test results for each target host. If
the vulnerability scan job detected a vulnerability on the target host, the
vulnerability scan report includes additional information about the vulnerability and
potential solutions, such as patches supplied by the vendor or other mitigation
techniques. Detected vulnerabilities sometimes may include false positives or
false negatives if there are obstacles that prevent a thorough or accurate
vulnerability scan, or if you have introduced obfuscation techniques that prevent
accurate fingerprinting of the software installed on the target host, such as
intentionally masking the version number or type of installed software.
Vulnerability scan results will be most accurate with proper preparation before the
vulnerability scan job. For more information, see
“Preparing for the vulnerability
Vulnerability scan job reports will not appear in the list of vulnerability scan job
reports before the vulnerability scan job is completed. See
vulnerability scan jobs” on page 162
to display a list of vulnerability scan jobs that
are still pending or in progress.
