Reviewing Vulnerabilities

FlexNet Code Insight 6.13.2

This chapter provides the procedure for doing a security scan by reviewing vulnerabilities.

When an inventory item is scheduled for a full review by a project owner and it has been through a review and reconciliation process to determine its IP compliance state, a secondary review by the security analyst assigned to the project must occur if the inventory item contains associated security vulnerabilities.

2. Click the My Projects button, and a list of projects opens.
3. Click the magnifying glass icon next to the project you want to review. The Project page opens.
4. Click the Inventory tab.

5. Select an inventory item, and click the associated magnifying glass icon. The Inventory details page appears.
6. In the Components line, click the Vulnerability Shield icon () in the top left corner of the Inventory Details page to view vulnerabilities details. The Contains the Following Security Vulnerabilities dialog appears:

7. To expand the descriptions, click the Plus icon to the left of the Score column.
8. Click the CVE links to read information about each vulnerability in the National Vulnerability Database.
9. From the Change Inventory Status pull-down menu, select Approve, Reject or Schedule Full Review of the inventory item when you have completed reviewing the associated vulnerabilities.
10. If action is required based on the vulnerability review, create security checklist items for the inventory item to track this work. For more information, visit https://flexeracommunity.force.com/customer/CCContactSupport.
