    Important Upgrade Information

    • If upgrading directly to Zurich and not transitioning to Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM), customers should install a Container Vulnerability Response version below v30.x and the supported third-party integration apps accordingly.
    • The Missing Assets [snvulwizmissingasset] table used in the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz is deprecated. After upgrading to version 1.1, existing Wiz integrations must be backdated by three days and re-run to ensure data consistency.
    • Refer to the Vulnerability Response Compatibility Matrix and Release Schema Changes article in Now Support for detailed compatibility and version information.

    New Features and Enhancements

    • Workspace Enhancements (from Yokohama onwards):
      • Support for an Unassign workflow for container vulnerable items (CVITs) and remediation tasks, enabling easier reassignment and triage management within Vulnerability Manager and IT Remediation workspaces.
      • Manual creation of container remediation tasks in both Vulnerability Manager Workspace (roles: snvulcontainer.vulnerabilityanalyst, snvulcontainer.vulnerabilityadmin) and IT Remediation Workspace (role: snvulcontainer.remediationowner), with grouping based on selected criteria.
      • Configurable granularity of CVITs using Registry and data source information, allowing customers to view image or Kubernetes-specific data.
      • Additional CVIT table columns to track precise discovery, resolution, and last found timestamps for improved clarity and time zone accuracy.
      • Optional logging of risk score changes to the Work Notes section to facilitate audit and tracking when enabled.
    • Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz (Zurich):
      • Updated image repository name format to registry/repository for both new and existing container images to maintain consistency.
      • Enhanced repository field to include all repositories associated with an image.
      • Added sourceid column to the Container Image Finding table for better mapping of Wiz imports.
      • Backfill integrations are activated by default; after upgrading to v1.1, related older backfill integrations become unnecessary.
      • Import of test results from Wiz to detect cloud configuration compliance, mapping findings to Configuration Compliance application test results.
      • Enhancements allow importing richer scanner data including namespaces and cluster hierarchy for discovered container images.
      • Improved mapping and roll-up of fix information and vendor severity from Wiz findings to CVITs and Container Image Findings.

    • Streamline vulnerability assignments in the workspaces with the Unassign UI action from the more actions menu on a CVIT.
    • Reassign incorrectly assigned CVITs, clarify ownership for reassessment, and maintain accurate triage records in workspace views.
    • You have the option to send unassign requests for approval prior to clearing the Assigned to and Assignment group fields on records.

    [Placeholder link text to key cvr-assignment-rules]. You can use the following values imported from the Prisma Cloud Compute integration as conditions when you create or update your assignment rules to help you track ownership across your container environments.

    • Cloud account IDs
    • Image namespaces
    • Registry
    • Hosts
    • Labels
    • Status - Vendor status for a resolved (Fixed) vulnerability
    Create container remediation tasks manually in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace
    With the sn_vul_container.vulnerability_analyst or sn_vul_container.vulnerability_admin role, you can create container remediation tasks manually by selecting some or all the records in the Container vulnerable items lists in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace. These records are grouped into one or more remediation tasks according to the grouping criteria selected while creating container remediation tasks.
    Create container remediation tasks manually in the IT Remediation Workspace
    With the role sn_vul_container.remediation_owner, you can create container remediation tasks manually by selecting some or all the records in the Container vulnerable items’ lists in the IT Remediation Workspace.

    Enhancements to the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz
    • The image repository name format for new and existing discovered container images has been updated to align with the discovery format. The supported format is registry/repository. A separate finding is created for a repository present in each registry.
    • Appended all repositories that are associated with an image to the Repository field on the discovered container image records.
    • Added the source_id column to the Container Image Finding table (sn_vul_container_image_findings) and mapped the id attribute from the Wiz import to this field on findings records.
    • The default integration instance parameter for configuring finding keys for the Container Vulnerability Integration includes src_ci, vulnerability, package, image_layer, and image_repository.
    Enhancements to the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz

    The Missing Assets [sn_vul_wiz_missing_asset] is deprecated. After updating to version 1.1, you must backdate your existing primary Wiz integrations by three days and run them.

    The backfill integrations are activated by default.

    After you run them after updating to v1.1, the following backfill integrations are no longer required:
    • Host Vulnerability Backfill Integration
    • Test Results Backfill Integration
    • Host Test Results Backfill Integration
    • Issues Backfill Integration

    Data for resources that have the validated_at_runtime flag set to 'yes' is imported and populated on detections.

    The CMDB internet-facing field on the discovered item is mapped to Limited Internet Exposure on findings.

    Fix information that includes 'Fix available', 'Partial fix available', 'No fix available', and 'Fix version' from the [fix_available] and [fix_version] columns is rolled up to CVITs from findings. Note: If there are two or more findings on a CVIT, the fixed version might only apply to one. In that case, 'Partial fix available' is rolled up to the CVIT.

    The Wiz vendor severity attribute is mapped to the 'Source severity' column on findings records in the Container Image Findings [sn_vul_container_image_findings] table.

    The cluster and namespace is evaluated for all the following entity Types: DEPLOYMENT, DAEMON_SET, STATEFUL_SET, POD.

    Import container vulnerability data with the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz
    Import configuration test results from Wiz to detect non-compliant cloud configurations. Findings are mapped to cloud test results (CTRs) in the Configuration Compliance application to help you enforce security policies and standards across your cloud environment.
    Enhancements to imported scanner results
    Enhancements support more scanner data on imports. Namespaces and hierarchy cluster are considered and populated in the discovered container image [sn_vul_container_image] table if this data is imported.
