Note
This report expires seven days after you create it. Contrast deletes the report after this time.
Attestation reports include:
An itemized list of the specific filter settings used to run the report
A summary of the security posture for the application
Vulnerabilities assessment for both custom code and open-source libraries. Note that critical severities will not be displayed in this section if CVSS 3.1 has not been turned on for existing organizations. To enable this, contact Contrast Support.
Route coverage as a security assessment metric
An optional compliance policy assessment and detailed information about open vulnerabilities for the application
An appendix that describes methodologies and terminologies
Before you begin
An Attestation report has the following limits:
1,350 vulnerabilities with details
18,000 vulnerabilities without details
15,000 routes with observations
30,000 routes without observations
If your report exceeds these limits, an error message displays and the report doesn't generate. If this situation occurs, change your report selections to reduce the amount of information in the report.
