View Risk Elimination
You can navigate to the VMDR > Vulnerabilities tab to view the list of vulnerabilities for the various Windows, Linux, and Mac assets. However, mitigation is available only for Windows and Linux assets. The QIDs have a set of mitigation jobs available depending on the scripts from Custom Assessment and Remediation (CAR).
- On the VMDR > Vulnerabilities tab, you can view the QIDs that have the Mitigation jobs available, denoted by the symbol shown in the above figure. It displays the number of mitigation jobs available for the QID.
- The QDS refers to the severity level of the vulnerability for the particular QID. You can click on the score to view more details, such as the trending highest contributing CVE, associated malware and threat actions, and so on.
- To mitigate the QID, select it, and from the Quick Actions menu or Actions menu, select the View Risk Elimination option. This option navigates you to the Mitigation > Eliminations tab, where you can mitigate the selected QID.
Important to Know
- If a QID has multiple CVEs with different QDS scores, the highest score of the CVE is the actual QDS score of the QID. For example, if a QID has three CVEs with scores, 50, 60 and 70, then the QDS score of this QID will be 70, which is the highest CVE score.
- A QID is mitigated only when all the CVEs associated with it are mitigated. Only then the QID status changes to Mitigated.
- The color of the QDS score block changes after QID status changes to Mitigated.
