Overrides are not applied

Getting Started

Hello,

we’ve installed from source community version 24.3.0.

All works great except one thing - we can apply overrides on views and reports.

We set “Apply overrides” or define a filter, but we still get entries (OIDs) which we overrode.

report - overrides still occurs

We don’t know if we do sth wrong with configuration, or there is a problem with that version of community edition.

Any ideas how to apply overrides?

Best regards

Hi,

I am not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you want to get your overrides applied or do you want to not get the overrides applied?

In you screenshot the overrides have a new severity of 10. So I suspect it doesn’t make any difference if they are applied in this specific case.

Hi, we want to create an override for vulnerability, but without marking it as a False Positive.

We need time to mitigate few vulnerabilities, so we want to exclude it from next reports.

We can’t do this without marking it as a False Positive.

Personally, I don’t see why you don’t want to override the selected items to “False Positive” status. This would allow you to filter them out of the report. After all, the report depends on the filter you assign to the results page and you can toggle the overrides on/off in the results filter. This is how it is meant to work.

So, intuitively, you can:

  1. Set the override to change status to False positive
  2. Enable the overrides in the report filter
  3. Export/View the report with the overrides set
  4. Disable the overrides
  5. Export/View the report without the overrides set

Hi, Yes it is the easiest way. We’ll use False positive.

Thanks
