Analyzing detected vulnerabilities

Kaspersky Container Security detects vulnerabilities through static analysis of registry images, image scans in the runtime and CI/CD objects. For analysis purposes, the full list of detected vulnerabilities is presented as a table in the Investigation → Vulnerabilities section.

The table lists the following for each detected vulnerability:

• The Vulnerability column contains the ID of the vulnerability entry. By clicking on the identifier, you can open a page with detailed information about the vulnerability detected in the image.
• The Severity column displays the severity level of the detected vulnerability and whether it has an exploit.
• The Resource column contains the name of the resource where the vulnerability was detected.
• The Vendor fix column shows whether a fix for the vulnerability is available from the vendor. The solution shows the version number that has the fix, or indicates that no fix is available.
• The Artifacts column shows the number of artifacts (images in registries and the runtime environment, as well as CI/CD objects) that are scanned by Kaspersky Container Security.

  The solution displays the number of unique images based on imagename:tag for the selected scope. When determining the number of artifacts, the following rules apply:

  • If an image based on imagename:tag is part of the resources of a scope based on resources and clusters, then the image is counted once.
  • If a user has access to resources of a scope based on clusters, but does not have access to resources based on registries in this scope, only the number of images in the runtime is counted.
  • If you specify All in the scopes filter, the total number of artifacts for all scopes is displayed.
  • CI/CD artifacts are only countable when working with the default scope.
• The Workloads column shows the number of pods containing images with the vulnerability.

Using filters, you can select vulnerabilities to display in the table in the Investigation → Vulnerabilities section.
