2026 Q4 Vulnerability Scan Follow Up
Good evening Nick, Your quarterly vulnerability scan report has been completed and is available in your client folder. Recommended remediation priorities (Top Ten): 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 Nick, Following the quarterly vulnerability review for Mixer Systems, the items below still need remediation. These are typically third-party products or other remaining work that was not included in ticketed first-party remediations. 1.

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

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) =====
- .NET Framework and modern .NET (.NET 5+) are not interchangeable
- An app built on one major version is tied to that version - removing it will break the app.
- Update each runtime line via WU/vendor installer; uninstall only when unused and verified
- If this host is a VM, take a pre-update snapshot so you can revert if there are issues.
- .NET Core 3.x: out of support - uninstall if unused and verified, or escalate cannot-update
- .NET 5: out of support - uninstall if unused and verified, or escalate cannot-update
- .NET 6: out of support - uninstall if unused and verified, or escalate cannot-update
- .NET 8 (LTS): update runtime to the reported target within the 8.x line (Windows Update or runtime installer)
- .NET 9 (non-LTS): update 9.x runtime via WU/vendor installer, or uninstall if unused

Additional CVEs (663 more) are listed in the Client Folder report.
Minimum version to reach:
Multiple bundled scanner entries report end-of-life components; patch within each runtime line per remediation guidance (or the latest available).
Affected Systems:
- 10.15.20.85 (steved) - 10.15.20.85 [665 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.
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.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Confirm Acrobat Pro vs Adobe Reader (and 32 vs 64) on each host before choosing an installer
- Update to the reported remediation target
- RMM/automated patching when deployed
- Versions 20.x and 21.x are EOL - full upgrade to a supported track, not a security patch on 20/21
- Backstage (CMD/PS): deploy matching Acrobat installer/package (Admin Console when enterprise)
- Live user session only if needed: Help > Check for Updates
- Verify version after update

===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- SQL Server is a database engine - not a desktop app or winget package
- Confirm instance name, edition, and current CU/SP on each host
- Apply the matching Cumulative Update / service pack for that major version
- Maintenance window required; coordinate with the DBA or app owner before stopping SQL services
- SSMS / ODBC / Native Client are different products - do not apply an engine CU to those
- Verify @@VERSION / instance build after the update

Vulnerability Remediation - Email DNS - DNS Config Required
Vulnerability Remediation - Email DNS - DNS Config Required
Product/System: Email DNS - Mail authentication (SPF, DMARC, DKIM)
Affected Domains: 1
Finding summary:
Email authentication records are missing or incorrect for the listed domain(s) used for outbound email.
Confirm each domain is actually used for mail before changing DNS.
Publish or correct SPF, DMARC, and/or DKIM at the DNS provider.
Affected domain(s):
- mixersystems.com
Quick-check each domain first.
Confirm the domain is used for outbound email (MX, Microsoft 365 accepted domains, known senders).
Then stop (escalate to Security as a false positive) if the domain is not used for mail, or SPF/DMARC/DKIM are already correct.
Include the domain list and reason.
Otherwise choose change, false positive, or suppress below and document it in the ticket.
Remediation (pick the most appropriate option):
A. Publish or correct DNS (default when the domain sends mail)
- After client discussion and sender inventory, publish or correct SPF, DMARC, and/or DKIM at the DNS provider for each listed domain, including authorized third-party and device senders.
B. Finding does not apply - escalate false positive
- Domain not used for mail, or records already correct. Document what you checked.
C. Accepted risk / client will not change DNS - escalate to Security
- Record client notification/acceptance in discussion notes to the client.
- These findings are assessed from public DNS, not ConnectSecure host scans - they cannot be suppressed in ConnectSecure. Security documents the accepted-risk exception.
- Client must accept or be notified; risk remains until records are corrected.
Client coordination - DISCUSS WITH THE CLIENT BEFORE ANY DNS CHANGE:
DNS changes for SPF, DMARC, or DKIM can cause legitimate client mail to be undelivered or quarantined.
Discuss timing and impact with the client first.
Confirm third-party senders and mail-capable devices (scanners/MFPs, fax-to-email, etc.) before tightening SPF or DMARC.
Do not publish or strengthen records until the client agrees.
===== TECHNICAL GUIDANCE (do this) =====
- Identify the DNS host / registrar for each domain (from ticket detail or Client Folder notes).
- Preferred access to the client's DNS host is delegated access to a River Run account.
- Before publishing or tightening SPF/DMARC/DKIM, inventory every system that sends as this domain:
- Primary mail platform (Microsoft 365 / Exchange, Google, etc.)
- Third parties that send on behalf of the domain (marketing, billing, CRM, ticketing, newsletters, payroll, etc.) - add SPF includes and enable DKIM when the vendor supports it
- Mail-capable devices (MFPs/scanners, fax-to-email, postage, alarm/notification appliances, LOB SMTP) - authorize in SPF or route through an approved relay
- Do not tighten SPF (-all) or DMARC policy until those senders are covered or intentionally retired
- Publish or correct SPF, DMARC, and/or DKIM per the missing records only after the client agrees and the sender inventory is covered.
- Preferred DMARC policy is p=quarantine. Use p=none only as a short monitor step if needed, then move to quarantine. Do not set p=reject unless the client asks for it.
- After change, verify public DNS shows the expected records; wait for TTL where needed
Scope: Email authentication (SPF, DMARC, DKIM) - DNS TXT/CNAME records at the domain's DNS provider.
IMPORTANT: First confirm each domain below is actually used for outbound email (MX records, Microsoft 365 accepted domains, marketing platforms, etc.). If a domain does not send mail, no remediation is needed for it - skip it.
Summary: 1 domain(s) flagged for DNS mail-authentication review.
=== mixersystems.com ===
DNS hosting: ns1.tigertech.net, ns2.tigertech.biz, ns3.tigertech.org. Confirm this is the DNS provider where TXT records for mixersystems.com are managed.
Issues:
- DMARC policy is weak (p=none).
- In the DNS hosting provider, open the existing DMARC TXT record at _dmarc.mixersystems.com (host/name "_dmarc").
- Review aggregate reports (rua=) if configured and confirm legitimate mail passes SPF and/or DKIM alignment.
- Strengthen policy in stages when the client approves: p=none (monitor) → p=quarantine.
- Example interim record: v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; pct=100; rua=mailto:dmarc@mixersystems.com
Remediation: For each domain confirmed to send mail, work with the client's DNS provider to publish or correct the SPF, DMARC, and/or DKIM records needed to resolve the issues listed above, then verify with a public DNS lookup tool (for example MXToolbox or nslookup).

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