Findings Types
The Findings page presents findings identified by scanners in Tenable Vulnerability Management as well as those imported from other Tenable products. In the left navigation, choose a findings type. Then, refine results with filters in drop-downs >. Choosing a findings type does not remove your current findings filters.
Findings Types
The following table defines the findings types in the left navigation.
|
Findings Type |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Vulnerabilities |
Findings such as system misconfigurations, unpatched software, poor data encryption, and weak authorization credentials. Refine By VPR, By Severity, or By State. |

Host Audits |
Host audits assess workstations, services, or network devices to evaluate the configuration, hardening, and security controls applied to a target. Refine these By Result of an audit. |

Findings such as SQL injections, cross-site scripting, local file inclusions, security misconfigurations, and XML external entity processing. Filter By VPR, By Severity or By State. |
Findings Type Filters
Under each findings type, use drop-downs > to apply filters that vary by type:
-
By VPR — Filter by the Vulnerability Priority Rating, which rates the risk and urgency of a vulnerability from 1 to 10.
-
By Severity — Filter by a vulnerability's severity—for example, Critical. For more information, see Vulnerability Severity Indicators.
-
By State — Filter by a vulnerability's state, which provides its detection status. For more information, see Vulnerability States.
-
By Result — Filter by audit results—for example, Passed or Failed.
