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

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)
- Update the app to the version listed under Minimum version to reach (or the latest available) via vendor updater, RMM, or Backstage CMD/PS.
- Relaunch the app if an update downloaded but did not apply.
B. Not needed / not in use - uninstall or remove
- Only if the app is not required on that host (confirm site standard / client).
C. Cannot reach a secure release - escalate to Security for suppression
- Typical case: OS cannot support the secure release, or update is blocked after RMM/Backstage CMD/PS/live-session attempts.
- If the product is EOL: check/apply the latest available final build first; if keeping it, notify the client, then escalate to Security.
- You verified the app is present at a vulnerable version.
- Do not use suppress for ordinary update failures - finish preferred methods or escalate troubleshooting first.
- 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) =====
- Check Windows Security on each host: is another EDR/AV active (SentinelOne, Huntress, Webroot, Bitdefender, or similar)?
- If yes and Defender real-time protection is off: that is expected. This finding is a Defender version, not the live AV
- Do not turn Defender real-time protection back on next to that EDR
- If Defender is still the AV, or the platform/service is still running: update platform/signatures via Windows Update or Defender management policy
- Check RMM patch status if patch management is deployed
- Confirm engine/platform version after update
- Then stop if:
- Another EDR is healthy and Defender RTP is off (version/signature age only): notify the client, record discussion notes, escalate to Security for suppression
- Update failed because Defender is fully disabled: same path - the EDR is the control; escalate to Security for suppression
- If the CVE is in a Defender driver or service that is still loaded: update the Defender platform anyway
