Within the Issues section in the navigation sidebar, you'll see the following:

Filtering the current issues page
You can filter the list of current issues by:
Tag
Target
Hygiene status (Overdue, Not overdue)
Severity rating (Critical, High, Medium, Low)
Exploit likelihood (Known to Rare)
CVSS (0.0–10.0)
EPSS (0–100%)
Category (Attack surface reduction, Compromise, Cryptographic weaknesses, Information disclosure, Misconfiguration and common mistakes, Vulnerable software)
Target type (External, Internal)
These filters are great if you're under a time crunch and need to prioritize, as demonstrated in this video:
Viewing current issues at the 'issue level'
Should you click on an issue, you'll see plenty more information. On the left of the screen, you'll find a list of the affected targets/occurrences (including ports and services):
On the right-hand side, you'll see:
| Explanation |
Intruder rating | CVSS provides the basis for our severity rating, but our Security team can amend this score to better reflect threat intelligence data. |
Highest CVSS score | Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) |
Exploit likelihood | We use publicly available data to determine the likelihood that a vulnerability has ever been used by threat actors to exploit an individual or organization. |
CVEs | Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. A publicly disclosed security vulnerability listed in the CVE system, each identified by a unique ID (e.g., CVE-2026-23870). |
Description | An explanation of the issue detected. |
Remediation | Intruder-curated advice/guidance to help with resolving the vulnerability. |
Notes to help your team share context and stay aligned throughout the remediation process. |
You may also notice an Action button at the top, which allows you to snooze the issue (by accepting risk, marking as a false positive, or adding mitigating controls); Rescan (which limits the scan scope to this specific issue), as well as the option to send the issue to any of your integrated tools:
Viewing 'current' issues by occurrence
When you click a specific occurrence, you'll see even more information:
| Explanation |
Raw scanner output | This comes directly from the scanner and is available for download as a .txt file. |
Check | Clicking this will take you to the checks detail page |
Occurrence | Including the affected target, reported plugin, reported version, date it was first detected by Intruder, and target tags |
Severity |
|
Exploit likelihood | Categorized as either Rare, Unlikely, Likely, Very likely, or Known, supplemented by a probability % over the next 30 days.
You may notice that some occurrences are marked with an 'Exploit known' icon while others are not:
This is because we 'fingerprint' the services running on each target to ensure we only run relevant checks. If a relevant check corresponds to a CVE on the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list, the 'Exploit known' icon will appear for that specific occurrence, helping you prioritize your remediation efforts. |
CVEs | The CVE ID, which links to cvemon.intruder.io. |
Overview | Including description and remediation |
Issue labels explained
Label | Explanation | Plan |
Attack surface:
| An exposed issue is not necessary for functionality, but it increases the attack surface of the target. | All Plans |
Rapid response: | Indicates an issue detected by our team, either because our core scanners don't have a check for it yet or because it's better detected by a person. | Enterprise
Vanguard |
Bug hunting: | Indicates an issue detected via manual investigation, whereby efforts are focused on the discovery of high-impact attack chains that could have a significant impact if left unresolved. | Enterprise
Vanguard |
Manual investigation: | Indicates the finding has been reviewed by a member of our Security team for enhanced insights and more bespoke reporting. | Vanguard |
Triaging issues
Triage lets you investigate issue occurrences using an AI agent. For each investigation, the agent produces a summary, detailed findings, and a full transcript of every step it took, including the exact requests sent, responses received, and the reasoning behind each conclusion. View our Issue Triage & Investigation article to learn more.
Viewing fixed issues
Here, you can find a list of your fixed issues, with all the same information as you can find in the Current section, with the addition of a Fixed date (most recently fixed at the top):
Viewing snoozed issues
Again, you can find the same information on this page, as you can on the other two – with the option to un-snooze occurrences or view snooze details. (More information on the specifics of snoozing can be found here).
Viewing issues filtered as Noise
Clicking on any of the issues will give you a description of the finding and an explanation for why we have filtered it as noise:
