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.

To identify the 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:QPatch.

    Mitigated Vulnerabilities.
  • 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. 


    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.
