I am using ZAP docker image to perform API scans. I have disabled some passive scan rules in zap_started hook python script. Still, these are listed as part of the final report.
Script to disable passive scan rules:
pscan_id_list = [10003, 10015, 10017, 10020, 10021, 10028, 10029, 10031, 10032, 10039, 10040, 10041, 10041, 10043, 10052, 10050, 10056, 10061, 10108, 10109, 90001, 90026, 90029, 90030]
for pscan_id in pscan_id_list:
zap.pscan.set_scanner_alert_threshold(id=pscan_id, alertthreshold='OFF')
Logs confirm rules are disabled:
