Investigating
Qualys Cloud Operations has detected an issue impacting WAS/TAS authentication scans when parameterized credentials are used in the latest WAS 10.16 release. Further updates will be shared as they become available.
Workaround: As a temporary workaround, users are advised to disable the “Add credentials to Selenium Script” option and instead manually hardcode the required credential values directly into the Selenium script. This approach has been verified to restore successful authentication.
The ticket reference for this incident is IM-12596.
