Question


  • When a CVE is newly updated in the Intelligence Stream, it will appear and become searchable in CVE viewer. 
  • Any image affected by the CVE will show the vulnerabilities in Monitor -> Vulnerabilities -> Deployed Images.
  • But when searching the CVE in Vulnerability Explorer, there is no result being returned within 24 hours after the CVE is updated. Why does this happen?

Environment


  • Prisma Cloud Compute (Self-Hosted) 
  • Prisma Cloud Runtime Security (SaaS)


Answer


  • The Vulnerability Explorer displays data that is periodically calculated (every 24hrs).
  • There is a Refresh Button that manually initiates a re-calculation.

  • Keep in mind that this is a heavy operation that may takes several minutes to complete (depending on the number of images/containers/hosts/etc in the system).
  • After the refresh, newly affected CVEs should be searchable.
