HawkScan false positives guide: identifying false positives, deciding fix vs suppress, excludePaths and failureThreshold config, excluding scan plugins, reporting accepted risk.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# False Positives and Accepted Risk ## Contents - [Identifying False Positives](#identifying-false-positives) - [How to Decide: Fix or Suppress?](#how-to-decide-fix-or-suppress) - [Suppression via Config](#suppression-via-config) - [Triaging via the API](#triaging-via-the-api) - [Reporting Accepted Risk](#reporting-accepted-risk) - [When in Doubt](#when-in-doubt) --- ## Identifying False Positives Not every finding from a DAST scan is a real vulnerability. Some common false positive scenarios: - **Health check or status endpoints** that intentionally return server info (e.g., `/health`, `/actuator/info`) may trigger "Information Disclosure" findings - **CORS headers** set intentionally permissive for public APIs - **Deliberately open endpoints** (public API docs, login pages) flagged for missing authentication - **Security headers on non-HTML responses** — CSP, X-Frame-Options findings on JSON API endpoints that never serve HTML - **Rate limiting findings** on endpoints that are already behind an API gateway enforcing rate limits ## How to Decide: Fix or Suppress? | Signal | Action | |--------|--------| …

How to install
mdr add stackhawk/agent-skills/cursor/.cursor/rules/stackhawk-hawkscan-false-positives.mdc@sha256:e568843e3f295f83The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260630.b97573a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
