Hello, I need to follow a particular path and would like to allow BURP to return me (or detect) only one type of issue based on severity. For example for this test round i am only looking for high severity, etc etc Thank you beforehand

Hi Nicolas Thanks for your message. It's not possible for Burp Scanner to only test for high severity issue types. However, you can simply delete any issues of a lower status type in the Target > Site map > Issues tab using the context menu. Additionally, you can select the issue types Burp will test for via Scanner > Options > Active Scanning Areas and decide which issues you deem to be high severity. The severity of an issue should be checked by the individual tester based on their knowledge of the application and the domain. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
