Mark Vulnerability as Exploitable

Vulnerability scanners don't have the whole picture, and Nucleus gives you the ability to mark findings as exploitable in order to aid in tracking and managing vulnerabilities. If you want to mark a finding as exploitable within Nucleus, you can do so in the following way:

1. Navigate to Vulnerability Analysis > Active. You should see a list of all the vulnerabilities present in your organization.

2. Either scroll down to, or filter, until you see the vulnerability you want to mark as exploitable.

3. In the row of the vulnerability you want to change, look for the little gray circle. This should be next to the severity of the vulnerability towards the left-hand side of the screen. Click on the gray circle.

4. Nucleus will ask if you want to mark the finding as exploitable. Select Yes.

The finding has now been marked as exploitable! The status will persist even when new scan data pertaining to that finding has been uploaded.

Note: The same process can be repeated for findings you want to mark as non-exploitable.
