During a vulnerability assessment, an analyst manually confirms that a reported weakness actually exists on the target host. Which result classification best describes this verified finding?
False positive
True positive
True negative
False negative
A true positive is a detection that correctly identifies a real vulnerability. Once the analyst validates that the weakness is present, the result is confirmed as a true positive. In contrast, a false positive is a reported vulnerability that proves nonexistent after validation, a false negative is a real vulnerability the scanner missed, and a true negative correctly indicates the absence of a vulnerability.
