Container Vulnerability Response release notes

The ServiceNow® Container Vulnerability Response application brings security and IT together to enable you to remediate your most critical vulnerabilities more quickly and efficiently. Container Vulnerability Response was enhanced and updated in the Zurich release.

Container Vulnerability Response highlights for the Zurich release

• If you are currently using Container Vulnerability Response and you want to upgrade to Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM), see Unified Security Exposure Management release notes for more information about USEM and the Unified Security Exposure Management migration.
• Import container image vulnerability data from the Wiz scanners into container vulnerable items (CVITs) with the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz.
• With the sn_vul_container.vulnerability_analyst or sn_vul_container.vulnerability_admin role, create container remediation tasks manually in the Vulnerability Manager Workspace.
• With the role sn_vul_container.remediation_owner, create container remediation tasks manually in the IT Remediation Workspace.

See Container Vulnerability Response for more information.

Important:

Container Vulnerability Response is available in the ServiceNow Store. For details, see the "Activation information" section of these release notes.

Important information for upgrading Container Vulnerability Response to Zurich

If you are currently using Container Vulnerability Response, and you do not intend to upgrade to Unified Security Exposure Management (USEM), install a version below v30.x of Container Vulnerability Response and for upgrades to supported third-party integration applications.

The Missing Assets [sn_vul_wiz_missing_asset] table used for storing assets imported by the backfill integrations for the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz is deprecated. If you are currently using the Vulnerability Response with Wiz integrations, after updating to version 1.1, you must backdate any of your existing Wiz primary integrations by three days and run them. Please review more information about the Wiz integration at SecOps articles on the Security Operations Community.

For more information about the released versions of the Container Vulnerability Response application as well as the third-party and ServiceNow applications that are compatible with the Zurich release, see the Vulnerability Response Compatibility Matrix and Release Schema Changes [KB0856498] article in the Now Support Knowledge Base.

New in the Zurich release

Remediation task rule execution mode

You can now choose how remediation task rules are evaluated during ingestion. The new Match First execution mode evaluates rules sequentially and applies only the first matching rule, assigning each finding to exactly one remediation task. The default Match All mode continues to evaluate all applicable rules.

Enhancements to the Vulnerability Response Integration with Wiz

• The Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) that identifies detections for the Wiz Host Vulnerability integration will be mapped to a detection key.
  Note:

  This enhancement is supported for new customers only.

  For existing customers, the detection key for the Wiz Host Vulnerability integration is created using the combination of vulnerability, asset_id, and proof.

• 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.
  Note:

  Perform a full import after upgrading to view the enhancement on container image findings, container image, and container image vulnerabilities records.
• 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 [sn_vul_container_image] table, which can help you see images from specific repositories.
• 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.

Changed in this release

Configure maximum rows in related lists

To improve readability and performance, you can now limit the number of rows shown in related lists on forms by setting the system property sn_vul_cmn.related_list.set_max_row.
