Container vulnerable items (CVITs) are automatically created during third-part vulnerability integration imports.

Container vulnerable item form fields

Except for the Assignment group, Assigned to fields and Notes, all other fields in the CVIT are read only.

Field

Description

Number

Automatically generated CVIT identifier for this record.

Source

Scanner that has identified the vulnerability.

Risk rating

Quantified Risk Score separating vulnerable items into Critical, High, Medium, Low, and None.

Risk score

Calculated amount of risk the CVIT poses to your environment.

Remediation target rule

Remediation target rule according to which the remediation target date is calculated.

Remediation target

Date by which the CVITs should be remediated, since first identified. Only appears when applicable.

Remediation status

Status of the remediation for the CVIT.

Vulnerability

ID of the vulnerability associated with this application vulnerable item.

Docker Image

Template file that contains code, required libraries, configurations, and so on. The file is used to launch container instances. It consists of a union of layered file systems.

Discovered Container Image

Unique record for each image ID.

Base Image

A foundational image used to create containerized applications, containing the essential operating system and libraries. It serves as the starting point for building and customizing applications in environments like Docker.

Image Clusters

Groups of related images used in various contexts, such as clustering similar images in machine learning or container images in a repository.

Image namespace

Used to organize and isolate container images within a registry, enabling different teams or projects to maintain separate collections.

State

This field defaults to Open when created. See Application Vulnerable Item (AVI) states for more information on how states are mapped.

Assignment group

Group selected to work on this CVIT.

Assigned to

Individual from the selected assignment group that works on this CVIT. Can be manually added or edited by an App-Sec Manager.

Created

Date and time at which a CVIT is created.

Last Opened

Latest date and time at which the CVIT is reopened.

Updated

Date and time at which the CVIT is last modified.

First found (v2.12.1)

Date the vulnerability was first found.Starting with v2.12.1, you can see the precise date and time when it was first discovered, ensuring clarity and accounting for different time zones.

To populate the first found date and time details, the integration must be rerun.

Last found (v2.12.1)

Date the vulnerability was last found.Starting with v2.12.1, you can see the precise date and time when it was last found, ensuring clarity and accounting for different time zones.

To populate the last found date and time details, the integration must be rerun.

Resolution date(v2.12.1)

Date the vulnerability was resolved.Starting with v2.12.1, you can see the precise date and time when it was resolved, ensuring clarity and accounting for different time zones.

The resolution date is populated when the CVIT is resolved as part of the workflow.

Last opened (v2.12.1)

Date the vulnerability was last opened.Starting with v2.12.1, you can see the precise date and time when it was last opened, ensuring clarity and accounting for different time zones.

The scheduled job Add default values for last_opened_dt_tm from last _opened populates the data in this field. It must be executed only once on-demand.

State Change Approvals

State change approvals request raised for the CVIT.

Age calculations of a CVIT:
  • The Age column in the CVITs' list displays the duration (format: Days HH:MM:SS) for which a CVIT is active. The Age value is zero for a closed CVIT.
  • The Age closed column in the CVITs' list displays the duration (format: Days HH:MM:SS) for which a CVIT is active before it’s closed. For CVITs, other than in the Closed state, the Age closed value is zero.

For more information on how to customize the calculation of Age and Age closed durations, see the KB1703270 article.
