2026 Q4 Vulnerability Scan Follow Up
Good evening Yvonne, Your quarterly vulnerability scan report has been completed and is available in your client folder. Recommended remediation priorities (Top 5): 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, Josh Valin
2026 Q4 Remaining remediations
Good evening Yvonne, Following the quarterly vulnerability review for PEARLS for Teen Girls, Inc., there are no remaining remediations to report. Sincerely, Josh Valin
Vulnerability Remediation - Windows 11 (all versions) - Updates Required
Vulnerability Remediation - Windows 11 (all versions) - Updates Required
Product/System: Windows 11 (all versions)
Affected Systems Count: 5
Finding summary:
Windows 11 (all versions) is missing required updates on the listed hosts.
Apply missing quality/security updates via RMM or Windows Update (or Intune).
Stay on the current Windows version. Coordinate a maintenance window before reboots.
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 (1364 more) are listed in the Client Folder report.
Minimum version to reach:
- Apply Windows Update KB5094126 (or the latest available).
Affected Systems:
- PFTG-0226C (MollyPrater) - 192.168.1.12 [10.0.26100] [1365 vulns]
- PFTG-LT-22DY (HayaKhateeb) - 192.168.2.107 [10.0.26100] [741 vulns]
- PFTG-LT-2240 (KiarraRussell) - 192.168.2.117 [10.0.26100] [638 vulns]
- PFTG-LT-226F (YvonneColeman) - 192.168.2.105 [10.0.26100] [478 vulns]
- PFTG-LT-22GP (MaliyahBrown) - 192.168.2.110 [10.0.26100] [478 vulns]
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

Quick-check each host first.
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive) if the redistributable/runtime is not present or is already at/above the minimum version to reach for that major version.
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 (usual path when keeping the major version)
- Install the updated package for the same major version to the version listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available).
B. Not needed / not in use - uninstall or remove
- Only after dependency testing proves the major version is unused (test machine; uninstall one major version at a time).
C. Vulnerable major version is required - escalate to Security for suppression
- Dependency testing showed apps need this major version, and it remains (or will remain) vulnerable.
- 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.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Visual C++ redistributables are side-by-side - do not upgrade everything to the latest year
- An app built on one major version is tied to that version - removing it will break the app.
- Only remove a year if no app is using it.
- Patch each major version seen below with the matching vc_redist or Windows Update package
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- Verify the update was successful
- 2008 (9.x): patch via https://aka.ms/vcredist or Windows Update - do not remove unless unused
- 2010 (10.x): patch via https://aka.ms/vcredist or Windows Update - do not remove unless unused

Good evening Yvonne,
Your quarterly vulnerability scan report has been completed and is available in your client folder.
Recommended remediation priorities (Top 5):
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,
Josh Valin
