Remediation tasks are still open though associated VIT’s are closed

[Yamsanibhavani]

Hi everyone,
I've encountered an issue where some Vulnerability Remediation (VUL) tasks or remediation tasks remain open, despite their associated Vulnerable Items (VITs) being 100% closed. Can anyone help me understand why this discrepancy occurs, and what might be causing it for specific remediation tasks?"

Hi,

Did you manage to find the reason for this ?

Hi,

The OOB configuration only closing VULs when it is closed with fixed as substate. If needed add the condition to close the VULs also irrespective of substate.

There will be script include where they configured this logic - state is closed & substate is fixed then close all the related remediation groups or VULs, if not skip the group state updation.

I also have this question. What I've seen in our instance is that this happens when VITs are in a Closed state with a Substate other than "Fixed." For example, if one VIT is Closed-False Positive or Closed-Other, the VUL will not close.
