By default, STO assigns [severity](/security-testing-orchestration/new-to-sto/key-concepts/severities.md) based on numeric scores such as CVSS. When scanner severity override option is enabled, STO bypasses its internal severity mapping and uses the severity levels reported by the scanner (for example, Critical, High, Medium, and Low). ## Enable Scanner Severity Override You can enable the scanner severity override behavior in either of the following below 2 ways: 1. In the scan step configuration, enable `Use Raw Scanner Severity` option.

2. In the scan step configuration, add `ingest_tool_severity: true` in the Settings section.
