Group vulnerabilities by sink

Grouping vulnerabilities lets you combine vulnerabilities that share the same sink. The vulnerabilities in a group can affect multiple applications.

Grouping vulnerabilities reduces the number of entries that the vulnerability list shows. You can still see the data for individual vulnerabilities in a group.

Before you begin

Group by sink applies only to vulnerabilities for applications with an Assess license. If you group by sink, Show licensed only is selected automatically.

Steps
  1. Select Vulnerabilities in the header.

  2. At the top of the list, select Group by sink.

    Depending on the filters you use for the list, you might need to scroll down to find the groups.

    A group looks similar to this example:

    The number indicates the number of vulnerabilities in the group.

    The values for the Severity, Application, and Status columns change to Multiple, If the vulnerabilities in a group have different severities, apply to different applications, or have different statuses.

  3. To further refine the view, select one or more Vulnerability filters.

  4. To view individual vulnerabilities in a group, select the group.

    Contrast shows a list of only the vulnerabilities in the group.

  5. To remove all groups, clear the Group by sink checkbox.
