Hello Team,

Did Active Scan & Closed the ZAP desktop app without save the report & now i want to generate the Active Scan Report by importing the previous session. Is there anyway to do that? If yes what is the process for that?

Thanks & Regards,
Sai Krishna M.

Open the session you saved, run a report.

When I opened the previous session & navigate to the Active Scan Tab, nothing was there how can I preserve the previous scan results with High alerts?

Hi.

The alerts are the scan results, which should still be present (if not
deleted).

Best regards.

No, Active scan alerts are not showing in the Alerts tab after we import the session(have High-risk issues). I don't have screenshots but we have faced this problem a lot of times.

In that case it's not the same session or they were removed.

Otherwise, if you are able to reproduce the disappearance of the alerts,
please, provide the steps.

Best regards.

I will try to reproduce the same issue and does any setting/option related to this?

I cant think of any off hand. The default behaviour is to maintain all of the alerts.
The only reasons I can think of for them not being there are if you didnt persist the session or if you deleted the alerts.

Cheers,

Simon

I haven't deleted the alerts & I have imported the same session @psimon. 
I am attaching the zip file consisting of multiple screenshots(to reproduce the issue) with & without alerts for your reference.

Thanks & Regards,
