Context Alert Filters

Context Alert Filters allow you to automatically override the risk levels of any alerts raised by the active and passive scan rules within a context.

This add-on adds an 'Alert filters' panel to the contexts dialog. The panel shows a list of all of the Alert filters along with buttons for adding, removing and deleting them.

The 'add' and 'modify' dialogs have the following fields:

Alert

A pull down containing all of the active and passive alert rules currently installed.

New Level

The new level to be assigned to any alerts raised that match the criteria defined by the rule.

URL

An optional URL. If specified then this rule will be applied if the URL matches the URL of a raised alert.

URL is regex

If set and a URL is specified then the URL will be treated as a regex expression when compared with the URL of the alert. If it is not set then any specified URL must exactly match the URL of the alert.

Parameter

An optional parameter. If specified then this rule will be applied if the parameter exactly matches the parameter of a raised alert.

Enabled

If set then this rule will be applied to all alerts raise against the given context.
