Vulnerability States in the Classic Interface

States allow you to better filter and manage your vulnerabilities based on the states determined by the Tenable.io state service. States appear as text badges in the tables that appear on the Vulnerabilities workbench. You can filter vulnerabilities by states.

You can better manage the vulnerabilities tracked and reported by Tenable.io with states. By tracking vulnerability states, you can see changes in your system's vulnerabilities or detections over time. You can track the detection, resolution, and reappearance of vulnerabilities using the available states in the following table.

State	Visibility	Description
Active	No badge Visible on the workbench	The vulnerability is currently present on a host.
New	Has a badge Visible on the workbench	The vulnerability is active, but was first detected within the last 14 days.
Fixed	Has a badge Hidden on the workbench, but visible through filters	The vulnerability was present on a host, but is no longer detected.
Resurfaced	Has a badge Visible on the workbench	The vulnerability was previously marked as fixed on a host, but has returned.
