Hello Zap team, I noticed that in the jsonreport, each risk has two types of risk level mentioned, one outside the bracket and one inside. Can you please explain why this is the case? Here are some examples from the report:

Content Security Policy (CSP) Header Not Set - risk level is mentioned as Medium (High)
Missing Anti-clickjacking Header - risk level is mentioned as Medium (Medium)
Server Leaks Version Information via "Server" HTTP Response Header Field - risk level is mentioned as Low (High)
Strict-Transport-Security Header Not Set - risk level is mentioned as Low (High)
X-Content-Type-Options Header Missing - risk level is mentioned as Low (Medium)
Re-examine Cache-control Directives - risk level is mentioned as Informational (Low)
Retrieved from Cache - risk level is mentioned as Informational (Medium)
I would appreciate it if you could provide some clarification on this matter. Thank you.

Hi.

That's documented in the help:
https://www.zaproxy.org/docs/desktop/addons/report-generation/report-traditional-json/#about-riskdesc

"riskdesc - Is a combination identifier, showing Risk followed by
Confidence (in brackets)."

Best regards.
