Question


Why Doesn't Vulnerability Count Match Between "All Known CVEs" And "Vulnerabilities" In Prisma Cloud Compute?
  • This is shown in Vulnerabilities (Compute> Monitor> Vulnerabilities> Image> Vulnerabilities):
Vulnerabilities 2.png
  • This is shown in All Known CVEs (Compute> Monitor> Vulnerabilities> Image> Package Info):
Packages info.png

As can be seen from the above, the numbers from Vulnerabilities and All Known CVEs does not match.


Environment


  • Prisma Cloud Compute
  • SaaS
  • Self-hosted


Answer


  • All Known CVEs is the number of CVEs that have been associated with the package that we have a record of, not what is currently impacting it. Therefore "All Known CVEs" will usually contain more number of CVES.
  • Vulnerabilities will show the number of CVEs which are currently impacting the image. 
  • Therefore, it is expected to see the numbers are different between "Vulnerabilities" and "All Known CVEs" from Compute> Monitor> Vulnerabilities> Image
