Statuses represent the state of a finding. The importance of each status is dependent on the type of security review and by the Cantina Repository administrator priorities. The image below represents a finding with a Confirmed status.
The most standardized statuses are the following:
Last updated
| Finding Status | Explanation |
|---|---|
New
Once a finding is submitted by the security researcher, it will be labelled as new by default.
Confirmed
When the finding is valid, it will be labelled as confirmed and be awarded based on the competition prize pool.
Acknowledged
After a finding is confirmed by the judge, the competition sponsor will have to acknowledge and double confirm the issue.
Fixed
The sponsor after acknowledging issues can apply fixes to the code. This label is used for bookkeeping of issues already fixed.
Withdrawn
If the researcher submits an issue and decides to withdraw it for any reason, the finding will be labelled as "Withdrawn".
