Objective


  • By using CVE Viewer in Prisma Cloud Compute we are able to reference a specific package by using a scheme called pURL (package URL)


Environment


  • Access to Prisma Cloud compute >= 30.03.122


Procedure


  • In the CVE Viewer when we search for general terms, e.g firefox, we will get only partial results due to a UI limitation which may not be desired.
  • In order to filter results to environment specifics we can use Package URL via the following scheme:
    • scheme:type/namespace/name@version

       
    • Corresponding fields in Prisma Cloud compute table would be as follow 
    • $ = Column header from Compute UI
      
      pkg:rpm/$Distro/$Package@$Affected version
      
  • Search examples:
    
    #Retrieve mozillafirefox package for SUSE linux
    pkg:rpm/suse/mozillafirefox@60.6.2-3.32.1
    
    #Retrive all firefox CVE's for Debian OS without specific version
    pkg:deb/debian/firefox
    
    #Retrive all firefox CVE's for Ubuntu for version >= 112.0
    pkg:deb/ubuntu/firefox@112.0
