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 (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

- OpenJDK / Temurin-style: Adoptium Temurin or the distro already in use (do not switch vendors without app vendor approval)
- Prefer RMM/automated patching when deployed; else vendor MSI via ScreenConnect
- If unused after dependency check: uninstall that runtime
- Verify java -version / Programs and Features and dependent app startup after change
- Java 8: stay on the existing 8u line unless the app vendor requires a newer major

Good evening George,
Your quarterly vulnerability scan report has been completed and is available in your client folder.
Recommended remediation priorities (Top 7):
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,
Chris Knospe
