# Issues

> View and manage security findings across your repositories

The Issues page displays all security vulnerabilities found in your code. Review findings, mark false positives, and track remediation progress.

## Issues Overview

Security issues are sorted by severity:

| Severity        | Description                                            |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Critical**    | Immediate exploitation risk, requires urgent attention |
| **High**        | Serious vulnerability that should be fixed soon        |
| **Medium**      | Moderate risk, plan to address                         |
| **Low**         | Minor security weakness                                |
| **Informative** | Security best practice suggestion                      |

* **Remediation** - Suggested fix or mitigation
* **Context** - Repository, branch, and file path
* **AI Analysis** - Vidoc's reasoning for flagging this issue

## Filtering Issues

Use filters to find specific issues:

* **Severity** - Filter by Critical, High, Medium, Low, Informative
* **Status** - Open, Ignored, Closed
* **Repository** - Specific repository
* **Branch** - Git branch
* **Category** - Security category (XSS, SQL Injection, etc.)
* **File path** - Search by file path pattern

## Managing Issues

### Mark as Fixed

When you've remediated a vulnerability:

1. Click **"Mark as Fixed"**
2. The issue moves to Closed status
3. If the vulnerability reappears, it will be reopened automatically

### Ignore an Issue

For false positives or accepted risks:

1. Click **"Ignore"**
2. Provide a reason (required)
3. Vidoc creates a [learning](/dashboard/learnings) to avoid similar false positives

<Tip>
  Write clear, specific reasons when ignoring issues. This helps Vidoc learn your codebase patterns and improves future scan accuracy.
</Tip>

### Reopen an Issue

To reactivate a closed or ignored issue:

1. Filter to show Closed or Ignored issues
2. Click **"Reopen"** on the issue
3. The issue returns to Open status

## Bulk Actions

Select multiple issues to perform bulk operations:

1. Check the boxes next to issues
2. Use the bulk action dropdown:
   * **Mark as Fixed** - Close selected issues
   * **Ignore** - Ignore with a shared reason
   * **Reopen** - Reactivate selected issues

## Ask AI

For complex security issues, use the AI assistant:

1. Click **"Ask AI"** on any issue
2. Ask questions about:
   * How the vulnerability could be exploited
   * Recommended remediation approaches
   * Impact assessment

See [AI Chat](/dashboard/ai-chat) for more on the AI assistant.
