Changing the Status of a Security Vulnerability Alert

Use the following procedure to change the Open or Closed status of a security vulnerability alert for the current inventory item. Usually, you close an alert because the associated security vulnerability has been addressed in your product through remediation or the alert is a false positive. You might need to reopen an alert because further remediation is required.

Note:The status of the alert is changed for current inventory item only. The change is not applied to other inventory items that have an alert associated with the same vulnerability.

For more information about the Open and Closed statuses, see Details Shown for Each Security Vulnerability Alert.

To change the status of a security vulnerability alert, do the following:

1.

2.

In the Status column for a given alert, select either option from the dropdown list:

•

Open to reactivate the alert.

•

Closed to indicate that the alert has been addressed.
