Advisories are available to Vanguard users, or Premium users who have opted for one of the bolt-ons.
What is an advisory?
Advisories are issues discovered and investigated by the security team, falling into one of the following categories:
How do they work?
In the event that a member of the security team detects an issue, it will be published in the portal for your review.
Once you have remediated, you can then hit the Actions > Retest button, which will alert the security team of the request; once the issue has been reviewed the advisory will be updated accordingly.
Where can I find my advisories?
Newly discovered advisories can be found at the top of your Issues page. Clicking onto one will open up the issue description:

If you would like to view the Remediation Advice from the Security Team then you can do this by scrolling to the Remediation section bellow the Description:
If you have one of our issue tracking/management integrations added to Intruder (e.g. Jira/ServiceNow), you can also send the advisory to these systems by clicking the Actions > Send to [Platform Name] button.
Once you have remediated the issue and requested a retest (as described above), the Security Team will re-check your target(s) for this issue and, if the issue is fixed, then the advisory will be moved to the Fixed tab.
How am I notified of an advisory?
There are several mediums by which we'll communicate the status of an advisory.
When a new advisory has been detected (along with a status update of other advisories), you'll receive an email from [email protected]. It'll look something like this:
