Passive Scan Rules

This screen allows you to configure the passive scan rules.

Threshold

This controls how likely ZAP is to report potential vulnerabilities.

  • If you select Off then the scan rule won’t run.
  • If you select Low then more potential issues will be raised which may increase the number of false positives.
  • If you select High then fewer potential issues will be raised which may mean that some real issues are missed (false negatives).
