# Creating a manual vulnerability

> Log a finding discovered during manual testing through the six-step New Vulnerability wizard, with field constraints and validation messages.

You log findings from manual testing in the **Manual Vulnerabilities** view of a manual test. The New Vulnerability wizard takes six steps.

## Step 1: General information

Open the **Manual Vulnerabilities** tab inside a manual test and click **Create**, then describe the finding:

* **Name** *(required)* — the title of the vulnerability. Clicking **Next** with it empty returns `Name is required`.
* **Category** — the security test category, such as *Manual Pentest*.
* **CVE** — the CVE identifier, such as *CVE-2024-9999*.

## Step 2: Technical scope

Click **Next**, then select the assets, web applications, or endpoints the finding affects.

## Step 3: Owners and status

Assign responsibility and set the workflow status:

* **Impact** — severity level for the finding.
* **Status** — its initial lifecycle status, such as *Open*.
* **Risk Owner** *(required)* — select an owner from the dropdown. Clicking **Next** without one returns `Risk Owner is required`.
* **Remediation Owner** — the person assigned to fix it.
* **Time to Resolve** — a target resolution date.

## Step 4: Details

Configure CVSS scores, severity, the vector string, and impact descriptions.

## Step 5: Proof of concept

Use the rich-text editor to document reproduction steps, HTTP requests and responses, and supporting evidence.

## Step 6: Review

Check the summary and click **Finish**. You return to the **Manual Vulnerabilities** tab of the test you started from.
