IP-only host (no hostname) - identify it before remediating:
- Ping the IP to confirm it is online
- Connect to the site network (VPN, ScreenConnect jump host, or on-site) if you cannot reach it from the usual tools
- Check DHCP (lease, reservation, MAC) for a name
- Look up the IP in RMM, ScreenConnect, Liongard, AD, DNS (reverse lookup), firewall, and switch/ARP
- If still unknown: run a network scan from a trusted site host (do not scan from the internet)
- Record the hostname (or device type) on the ticket before remediating
- If the IP is offline, unused, or not this client: document what you checked and escalate to Security as a false positive
Quick-check each host first.
Confirm the OS/build on the host matches this finding.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive or no further action) if:
- already at/above the minimum version to reach (build/KB)
- already on the latest quality/security updates for the current Windows version
- the vendor documents this CVE as not applicable or already fixed
Include hostnames, current build, what you verified, and any vendor documentation link.
A fully updated host can still show a CVE until the vendor releases a fix. Do not force a feature upgrade.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Apply missing OS quality/security updates (default)
- Apply the build/KB listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available) via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune).
- Prefer current vendor quality/security updates for the host's existing Windows version.
B. Host not needed - decommission / rebuild
- Only if the host should not exist; do not uninstall the OS.
C. Cannot patch - escalate to Security for suppression
- Examples: OS update channel / RMM broken after troubleshooting, client defers patching after verification, or no approved path yet.
- Do not use suppress only because the host is on an older feature build - feature upgrades need explicit client approval.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
Agree a maintenance window before reboots, feature upgrades, or broad patch pushes. If a user may be interrupted, schedule after hours or contact the client first.
If another vendor manages this application, device, workstation, or server: that vendor or the service owner must perform the update. If they are unable or unwilling, escalate to Security for suppression.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Apply missing Windows updates via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune)
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- Reboot if Windows Update requires it
- After update, confirm the host has the latest quality/security updates for its current Windows version
- If it is already fully updated and still flagged: escalate to Security as no further action - do not force a feature upgrade

- Look up the IP in RMM, ScreenConnect, Liongard, AD, DNS (reverse lookup), firewall, and switch/ARP
- If still unknown: run a network scan from a trusted site host (do not scan from the internet)
- Record the hostname (or device type) on the ticket before remediating
- If the IP is offline, unused, or not this client: document what you checked and escalate to Security as a false positive
Quick-check each host first.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive) if the product is not installed or is already at/above the minimum version to reach.
Include hostnames and what you found.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Update (default when still needed)
- Install the updated vendor package (wizard/RMM) to the version listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available).
B. Not needed / not in use - uninstall or remove
- Only if the software should not exist on the host.
C. Cannot update or uninstall - escalate to Security for suppression
- You verified it exists at a vulnerable version, and install/update/uninstall is not viable after preferred methods.
- If the product is EOL: check/apply the latest available final build first; if keeping it, notify the client, then escalate to Security.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
If this update may interrupt a user, schedule after hours or contact the client first.
If another vendor manages this application, device, workstation, or server: that vendor or the service owner must perform the update. If they are unable or unwilling, escalate to Security for suppression.

Vulnerability Remediation - Windows 10 (all versions) - Apply Missing OS Updates (Windows 10 EOL - plan upgrade)
Product/System: Windows 10 (all versions)
Affected Systems Count: 1
Finding summary:
Windows 10 (all versions) is missing required updates on the listed hosts.
Apply remaining quality/security updates for the current build via RMM or Windows Update.
Windows 10 is EOL. Do not force a Windows 11 upgrade from this ticket. After those updates, a Windows 11 / new workstation project is a Sales quote and vCIO conversation, then Security suppression of the current OS.
CVE references:
CVE-2025-21298
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-21298
Vendor advisory:
https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2025-21298
Additional CVEs (2956 more) are listed in the Client Folder report.
Minimum version to reach:
- Apply Windows Update KB5126657
- Upgrade to supported Operating System is recommended (or the latest available).
Affected Systems:
- 192.168.20.131 [2958 vulns]
IP-only host (no hostname) - identify it before remediating:
- Ping the IP to confirm it is online
- Connect to the site network (VPN, ScreenConnect jump host, or on-site) if you cannot reach it from the usual tools
- Check DHCP (lease, reservation, MAC) for a name
- Look up the IP in RMM, ScreenConnect, Liongard, AD, DNS (reverse lookup), firewall, and switch/ARP
- If still unknown: run a network scan from a trusted site host (do not scan from the internet)
- Record the hostname (or device type) on the ticket before remediating
- If the IP is offline, unused, or not this client: document what you checked and escalate to Security as a false positive
Quick-check each host first.
Confirm the OS/build on the host matches this finding.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive or no further action) if:
- already at/above the minimum version to reach (build/KB)
- already on the latest quality/security updates for the current Windows version
- the vendor documents this CVE as not applicable or already fixed
Include hostnames, current build, what you verified, and any vendor documentation link.
A fully updated host can still show a CVE until the vendor releases a fix. Do not force a feature upgrade.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Apply missing OS quality/security updates (default)
- Apply the build/KB listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available) via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune).
- Prefer current vendor quality/security updates for the host's existing Windows version.
B. Host not needed - decommission / rebuild
- Only if the host should not exist; do not uninstall the OS.
C. Cannot patch - escalate to Security for suppression
- Examples: OS update channel / RMM broken after troubleshooting, client defers patching after verification, or no approved path yet.
- Do not use suppress only because the host is on an older feature build - feature upgrades need explicit client approval.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
Agree a maintenance window before reboots, feature upgrades, or broad patch pushes. If a user may be interrupted, schedule after hours or contact the client first.
If another vendor manages this application, device, workstation, or server: that vendor or the service owner must perform the update. If they are unable or unwilling, escalate to Security for suppression.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Apply missing Windows updates via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune)
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- Reboot if Windows Update requires it
- After update, confirm the host has the latest quality/security updates for its current Windows version
- If it is already fully updated and still flagged: escalate to Security as no further action - do not force a feature upgrade
- Windows 10 is EOL: still apply any remaining quality/security updates first; for a Windows 11 / new workstation project, generate a quote (inform the client that you are doing so), contact vCIO so they can discuss it with the client, then escalate to Security for suppression of the current OS

Vulnerability Remediation - Windows Server 2008 R2 - Updates Required
Product/System: Windows Server 2008 R2
Affected Systems Count: 1
Finding summary:
Windows Server 2008 R2 needs an infrastructure change on the listed hosts (upgrade, replace, or migrate).
When the fix needs a new server, OS, or workstation: generate a quote (inform the client that you are doing so), then contact vCIO.
Plan upgrade/retire with client approval. Coordinate maintenance windows.
Last browsers these hosts can run: Google Chrome 109.0.5414.120, Microsoft Edge 109.0.1518.78, Mozilla Firefox ESR 115 (latest 115.x). An OS upgrade is required to install a current browser.

Additional CVEs (1988 more) are listed in the Client Folder report.
Minimum version to reach:
- Apply Windows Update KB5037800
- Upgrade to supported Operating System is recommended (or the latest available).
Affected Systems:
- VISIONSCOPE - 192.168.20.92 [6.1] [2000 vulns] - OS upgrade required to update browsers
Quick-check each host first.
Confirm the OS build/SKU or migration scope matches this finding.
Even for EOL products, check whether a newer final build exists and apply it if the host is behind.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive) if the host is already on a supported platform or is not present.
Include hostnames and what you found.
Otherwise choose update, remove, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Complete the infrastructure remediation (default when approved)
- Upgrade, replace, or migrate per Technical guidance and client-approved plan.
- Even when the OS/software is EOL, check whether a newer final build still exists and apply the latest available first.
- When new servers, OS licenses, workstations, or similar are required: generate a quote (inform the client that you are doing so), contact vCIO so they can discuss it with the client, then escalate to Security for suppression of the current asset.
B. Asset not needed - decommission
- Only if the host/service should not exist.
C. Keeping EOL / deferred - notify the client, then escalate to Security for suppression
- After confirming the host is on the latest available build for that EOL product (or no further update exists), notify the client of residual risk, record discussion notes to the client, then escalate to Security for suppression.
- Do not request suppression until latest-available was checked and the client was notified.
- Suppression only stops tracking. It does not patch or remove the vulnerability. Residual risk stays until a real fix.
- Client must accept or be notified. Record discussion notes to the client (who, what, hosts, and that risk remains).
Client coordination - READ BEFORE UPDATING:
Agree project scope, timing, and cutover with the client. If keeping EOL, notify the client before Security suppression.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Apply the latest available updates for this OS if any exist (EOL releases often have none)
- Create a Sales quote for new hardware or an OS upgrade to a supported release - inform the client that you are doing so
- Contact vCIO so they can discuss the quote with the client
- Escalate to Security for suppression of the current host. Remediation occurs when the old device is retired, or when the purchased software/OS/license update is applied.
- Last browsers this OS can run (a newer browser needs an OS upgrade):
- Google Chrome 109.0.5414.120 - Chrome 110 and later will not install
- Microsoft Edge 109.0.1518.78 - Edge 110 and later will not install
- Mozilla Firefox ESR 115 - install the latest 115.x (115.43.0 as of Oct 13, 2026). Firefox 116 and later will not install
- If a host is already at those versions, stop browser patching. An OS upgrade is required.

Good evening Kathy,
Your quarterly vulnerability scan report has been completed and is available in your client folder.
Recommended remediation priorities (Top 8):
Complete report package:
The folder contains the following reports:
• Pending Remediation EPSS Score Report - classifies vulnerabilities by Exploit Prediction Scoring System (EPSS), which measures the likelihood of exploitation within 30 days (scale 0-1.0, with 1.0 being most critical).
• All Vulnerabilities Report - agent-detected vulnerabilities on managed assets (applications, OS patches, and related findings), from critical to low severity.
• Executive Summary Report - a high-level overview of your security posture and network information.
• External Scan - detected vulnerabilities and services exposed to the internet.
• Suppressed Vulnerabilities Report - vulnerabilities that have been suppressed (e.g., false positives or accepted risk) and will not appear on future remediation lists.
Not all vulnerabilities may be feasible to remediate depending on business or technical constraints.
Note: Remediation tickets have been generated for items covered under your RMIT+ agreement. Third-party items not covered under the agreement will not be remediated unless we discuss them and a quote has been generated. To schedule a discussion, please use the scheduling link above.
We appreciate your commitment to security. Addressing these vulnerabilities is essential for maintaining the protection of your systems.
Sincerely,
Andrew Harkins
