Customizable finding and section statuses

[aronmolnar]

Pentesters can set the status of a finding or a section to one of the four statically defined statuses:

We would like to allow customizing the status (globally per installation). This is, however, more complex than it seems due to the following reasons:

• If a report is exported from one installation to another with different status choices, we lose the information after import.

  • We could accept this.

• There is a special behavior for "in progress" findings with regards to the icon (it is not displayed in the finding overview)
  

  • We could keep this behavior for "in progress" and ignore it for other statuses.

• If any finding or section has a status other than "in progress", SysReptor shows a warning on the "Publish" page of the project if there are sections of findings with status other than "finished".
  

  • Solution could be to enforce the status "finished" to be among the possible statuses.
