Security Audit Report

The Security Audit Report provides an overview of open vulnerabilities discovered in the assessment, including summaries, metrics, and conclusions. For those customers using both WhiteHat Dynamic and Sentinel Source, this report will cover both dynamic and static test results.

You can choose whether to include or refrain from including a count of the vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Count

The following table shows the number of vulnerabilities for each site or application, broken down by rating type.

Open Vulnerabilities Categories

The following table summarizes the vulnerabilities found by Synopsys that also fall into the OWASP Top 10 Categories. Not all WhiteHat vulnerability classes are represented in the OWASP Top 10 Categories, so not all identified on your assets may be accounted for in this table.

Appendix - Vulnerability Level Definitions (by Risk)

This section details how the vulnerability levels are defined, risk Levels for the WhiteHat Sentinel Source solution are based on the OWASP risk rating methodology, based on the standard risk model (Risk = Likelihood x Impact) with several factors contributing to the likelihood and impact. The following tables show how the vulnerability ratings are calculated in The Security Audit Report.

impact level table

  • The Impact can be broken down into the Technical Impact and Business Impact.

    • Technical impact considers the traditional areas of security: confidentiality, integrity, availability, and accountability.

    • The business impact stems from the technical impact and consider things such as: financial damage, reputational damage, non-compliance, and privacy violations.

After scoring the Likelihood and Impact, the Risk Rating is determined using the following table:
