Viewing Security Vulnerabilities for Project Inventory

FlexNet Code Insight 2019 R1

FlexNet Code Insight uses data from the National Vulnerability Database (NVD), Secunia advisories (as published by the Secunia Research team from Flexera), and other advisories such as RubySec to report security vulnerabilities associated with your inventory items. The vulnerabilities information from these sources is used to create vulnerability rankings and alerts.

Use this procedure to access details for the vulnerabilities associated with an inventory item on the Project Inventory tab.

To view security vulnerabilities for an inventory item, do the following:

1. If you are not there already, navigate to the Project Inventory tab.
2. Click a published inventory item from the Inventory Items list.
3. Select the Component Details tab. If known security vulnerabilities exist for the inventory item, the Vulnerabilities graph is displayed:

4. Click any of the counts (red, orange, or yellow) in the graph to open the Security Vulnerabilities dialog, which list current security vulnerabilities for the inventory item.

For more information about how to use this dialog to obtain details about the vulnerabilities, see Security Vulnerabilities Associated with Inventory.
