Summary:

The provided code changes focus on enhancing the security-related configurations and documentation of the DefectDojo application. The key changes include improvements to the deduplication and hashcode calculation mechanisms, which are crucial for effective vulnerability management. Additionally, the documentation updates provide more detailed information about various features, such as tags, risk acceptance, deduplication, SLA management, reporting, and metrics.

From an application security perspective, the deduplication and hashcode calculation configurations are particularly noteworthy. The ability to configure different deduplication algorithms and hashcode computation settings per scanner/parser helps improve the accuracy and reliability of the deduplication process, which is essential for effectively managing security findings. The inclusion of security-related settings, such as CSRF, session, and content security configurations, also helps strengthen the overall security of the application.

The documentation updates cover a wide range of features, providing users with a comprehensive understanding of the capabilities and security-related aspects of the DefectDojo application. This level of transparency and documentation is commendable, as it helps users make informed decisions and effectively utilize the security tools and features provided by the application.

Files Changed:
