In beta: automated CVE checks on your software
05 January 2020
Have you seen the software report on your assets? Well, it’s about to become more interesting.
The software report shows you a list of all software that ShadowTrackr has detected on your systems. Such a list is useful to check if you’re running vulnerable or exploitable software.
But why check manually if automated vulnerability checks could be done ? That’s in beta now. We’re tracking all registered
CVEs and match these against your software report. If CVEs are found they’re shown in the report and you can click them for more information.
The match is done based on information found in regular checks we run on your assets. We would never actively run a penetration test against your systems without a specific request and explicit prior approval.
Beta in this case means that we’re still figuring out the best way to do this. We don’t want to bury you in false positives. So, nothing is shown on your timeline, no alerts are sent and no mentions appear in the weekly (for now).
