How to report a false positive



Open the vulnerability that you believe is a false positive from the Vulnerabilities tab



From the vulnerability window, scroll down and click on the Mark false positive button



Now enter a note to help remember why it is a false positive. Keep the "Exclude scanning of this vulnerability in all future scans" box checked if required.



Click on "Add note and Mark false positive". Done!
