Findings and generating reports

This article explains how to review findings produced by an AI pentest, mark their state, generate executive and technical reports, and re-test after a remediation cycle.

Findings

Each finding produced by the agent has the following:

  • Title, severity, and category — e.g., Reflected XSS in /search, High, Injection.
  • Description — what the issue is, in plain language.
  • Evidence — request/response pairs, screenshots, exploitation steps.
  • Affected assets — the URL, IP, or service the finding applies to.
  • Mitigation — recommended fix.
  • Compliance mapping — OWASP Top 10 reference, CWE, CVSS.

Marking finding state

From the Findings tab you can mark each finding as one of:

  • Accepted Risk — the team has reviewed and chosen to accept the risk.
  • False Positive — the finding doesn't reflect a real issue.
  • Fixed — the issue has been remediated.

Re-testing a single finding

After your team patches a finding, click Re-test on the finding row. The agent re-runs the exploit against the same target and reports back Fixed or Still Vulnerable.

Linking findings to a tracker

To push a finding into your bug tracker, click Open Linked Bug and pick a tracker (Jira, GitHub Issues, etc.). You'll need to connect a tracker first under SettingsIntegrations.

Generating reports

Reports are generated from the Reports tab or the Generate Report quick action on the dashboard.

Step 1: Click Generate Report

  • Go to the Reports tab on the Workspace dashboard.
  • Click Generate Report.

Step 2: Pick the report type

Choose one of:

  • Executive Summary — high-level overview for non-technical stakeholders.
  • Technical Report — detailed write-up with full evidence per finding.
  • Both — generates both at once.

Step 3: Pick a brand template (optional)

If your organization has uploaded a brand template, pick it from the dropdown. Otherwise the default Strobes template is used.

Step 4: Wait for compilation

The agent compiles the document. Most reports finish in a minute or two.

Step 5: Download

Download the final report as PDF or DOCX.

Re-test all

Use the Re-test All quick action after a remediation cycle. The agent re-runs only the originally-failed checks against the same target and produces a delta report — Fixed, Still Vulnerable, or New.
