Viewing CVEs
The CVEs tab provides a consolidated view of vulnerability intelligence categorized by recency, trending activity, and exploit status. It is divided into three sub-tabs, each offering focused insights and dynamically updated summary metrics.
Sub-Tabs in the CVEs
The CVEs tab contains the following views:
Newly Added
Shows CVEs that have recently been added to the Qualys threat intelligence database.
Use this tab to understand newly emerging risks as they appear in the ecosystem.
Trending
Displays CVEs that are currently gaining traction across the threat landscape.
These vulnerabilities are increasingly observed in real-world exploitation, scanning, or discussion.
Actively Exploited
Contains CVEs that are currently being exploited in the wild.
This view highlights the highest-priority items requiring immediate attention.
Dynamic Cards and Key Indicators
Each sub-tab presents a set of summary cards that reflect data relevant to the selected tab.
These cards show counts and intelligence for:
- CISA Known Exploits: Displays the number of vulnerabilities listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
- Ransomware Vulnerabilities: Shows the count of vulnerabilities associated with ransomware activity.
- Actively Exploited: Indicates how many vulnerabilities are currently being exploited in the wild.
- Impacted: Reflects the number of assets affected by the vulnerabilities in the selected view.
- Patch Available: Shows how many vulnerabilities have a vendor-released patch available for remediation.
Dynamic Card Update by Tab Selection
Each time you switch between Newly Added, Trending, or Actively Exploited tabs, the cards automatically update to display metrics relevant to that category.
Example:
When you are in the Newly Added tab, the Patch Available card indicates the number of newly added CVEs that have a patch available.
Clicking that card opens a list of only those CVEs (from the Newly Added set) that have a patch.
Interactive Workflow
The cards in each sub-tab serve as filters:
- Select a sub-tab (for example, Newly Added).
- Click a card such as Patch Available, CISA KEV, or Ransomware Vulnerabilities.
The UI displays the filtered list of CVEs that belong to the selected sub-tab and the chosen card category.
This makes it easy to drill down into exactly the type of CVEs you want to analyze.
The CVEs tab helps you quickly explore vulnerabilities based on:
- When they emerged (Newly Added)
- How relevant or widespread they are (Trending)
- Whether they are being exploited now (Actively Exploited)
The cards act as dynamic, context-sensitive filters, ensuring that the data displayed always aligns with the selected sub-tab.
