Remediation Tracking

Remediation Tracking provides a structured workflow for managing vulnerability fixes from discovery through resolution. Each vulnerability-asset association in your workspace is a remediation item that can be assigned to team members, tracked through status changes, documented with proof of remediation, and discussed through collaborative comments. All remediation notes are encrypted at rest.

Remediation tracking is available to Premium and Self-Hosted users.

How It Works​

Each vulnerability-asset pair in your workspace becomes a remediation link -- an individually trackable task with status workflow, assignment, and full audit trail.

Status Workflow​

A remediation link carries the status of its vulnerability-asset link, which progresses through three states:

Identified --> Validated --> Remediated
StatusMeaning
IdentifiedThe vulnerability has been documented on this asset but not yet confirmed.
ValidatedThe vulnerability has been confirmed on this asset.
RemediatedThe vulnerability has been fixed and verified on this asset.

The remediation list groups links as Open (Identified or Validated) and Remediated. Status is changed from the vulnerability's detail view; see Vulnerabilities.

caution

A link marked Remediated can no longer be assigned. Make sure the fix is verified before marking it as remediated.

Listing and Filtering​

The remediation view shows all vulnerability-asset links in your workspace with filtering and search capabilities:

Available Filters​

FilterOptionsDescription
StatusOpen, RemediatedShow links that are not yet remediated, or only remediated ones.
Assigned ToAny workspace member, or "Me"Show only links assigned to a specific user. Use "Me" to see your own assignments.
SearchFree textSearch across vulnerability names, asset IP addresses, and hostnames.

Results are paginated with configurable page sizes (1 to 100 items per page, default 50).

Each remediation link in the list shows:

  • Vulnerability -- Name, severity, CVSS score, CVE, and CWE identifiers.
  • Asset -- IP address and hostname of the affected system.
  • Port -- Port number, protocol, and service name (if the vulnerability is port-specific).
  • Status -- Current remediation state.
  • Assigned To -- The team member responsible, with their display name and email.
  • Notes -- Encrypted remediation notes (decrypted for display).

Assigning Remediation Tasks​

To assign a remediation link to a team member:

  1. Open the remediation link detail view.
  2. Select a workspace member to assign.
  3. The link must not already be assigned (unassign first if reassigning).

Only workspace members with the Owner, Editor, or Remediation Analyst role can be assigned remediation tasks.

Unassigning​

To reassign a link, first unassign the current member, then assign the new one. Both actions are recorded in the remediation timeline.

Who Can Assign​

Assigning and unassigning requires the EditVulnerabilities permission.

Remediation Details​

Clicking on a remediation link opens a detailed view with:

  • Vulnerability details -- Full description, severity, CVSS score, CVE/CWE identifiers, reference links, recommended fixes, and impact assessment.
  • Asset details -- IP address, hostname, operating system, OS version, and the network the asset belongs to.
  • Port details -- Port number, protocol, service name, and service version (if applicable).
  • Proofs -- Evidence files attached to the vulnerability-asset association (screenshots, logs, etc.).
  • Comments -- A threaded discussion for the remediation team.

Proof of Remediation​

Attach evidence files to document that a vulnerability has been remediated. Proofs are linked to the specific vulnerability-asset association and are visible in both the remediation detail view and in generated reports.

Comments​

Remediation links support collaborative comments for team communication:

  • Any workspace member with EditVulnerabilities permission can add comments.
  • Comments are limited to 5,000 characters each.
  • Each comment records the author and timestamp.
  • Comments appear in chronological order in the detail view.

Comments are useful for documenting remediation decisions, requesting additional information, or recording the steps taken to fix a vulnerability.

Timeline​

The remediation timeline provides a chronological audit trail of all activity across your workspace's remediation links. Each event records:

  • Who performed the action (user display name).
  • What happened (assignment, status change, comment added).
  • When it happened.
  • Which vulnerability and asset were involved.

Timeline Filters​

FilterDescription
Vulnerability IDShow events for a specific vulnerability.
Asset IDShow events for a specific asset.
Event TypeFilter by event type (assigned, unassigned, status_changed, comment_added).
Date RangeShow events within a specific date window.

The timeline is paginated and supports the same page size controls as the remediation list.

Encrypted Notes​

Remediation notes associated with each vulnerability-asset link are encrypted using your workspace's data encryption key (DEK). Notes are encrypted before storage and decrypted only when viewed by an authorized workspace member. This ensures sensitive remediation details remain protected at rest.
