Mitigation Rollback Overview

You can roll back the script-based mitigation that is applied to the Windows and Linux platforms as a temporary fix to address the vulnerabilities. You can also roll back partially mitigated vulnerabilities. 

View Full Mitigations

To identify the full mitigated vulnerabilities, navigate to the VMDR > Vulnerabilities tab. You can use either of the two options to view the vulnerabilities: 

• Use the QQL token vulnerabilities.mitigationDetected:QPatchor vulnerabilities.mitigated:state:Complete
  
  

• Select all the vulnerabilities and click Actions > View Risk Elimination. This option navigates you to the Mitigation > Eliminations tab, where the mitigated vulnerabilities display the Rollback Mitigation option. 

   The non-mitigated vulnerabilities have Rollback Mitigation option disabled. 

  
  

You can create the rollback mitigation job further. For more information, see Create Rollback Mitigation Job.

After the rollback is successful, the QDS score reverts to the original score when the vulnerability was not yet mitigated. 

View Partial Mitigations

To identify the partially mitigated vulnerabilities, navigate to the VMDR > Vulnerabilities tab an dperform the following:  

• Use the QQL token vulnerabilities.mitigated:state:Partial to find the partially mitigated vulnerabilities. 
  
  
• Select those vulnerabilities and click Actions > View Risk Elimination. This option navigates you to the Mitigation > Eliminations tab, where the partially mitigated vulnerabilities display the Rollback Mitigation option. 
  
  

You can create the rollback mitigation job further. For more information, see Create Rollback Mitigation Job.

After the rollback is successful, the QDS score reverts to the original score when the vulnerability was not yet mitigated.
