Remember, the CVSS Score is very important here to understand! The score has been classified into three different categories— Low, Medium and High. In any case, if you see any red signal with High alert that means you need to take action immediately. Taking steps is super easy and straightforward too. All you have to do is click on the ‘Update’ option under the ‘Remediation’ column. Conversely, you can ignore it by simply clicking on the ‘Ignore’ option right beside it.

To see so, hit the ‘Details’ option beside the status of your vulnerability. Notes: All notifications for vulnerabilities including email, WhatsApp, Slack, and others will be sent at a 10-day interval.
