View and handle Web-CMS vulnerabilities

View the basic information about a vulnerability

1. Log on to the Security Center console.
2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Precaution > Vulnerabilities.
3. On the Vulnerabilities page, click the Web CMS tab.
4. On the Web CMS tab, view the information about all Web-CMS vulnerabilities detected by Security Center.
   You can perform the following operations on the tab:

   • View vulnerability information
   • View vulnerability priorities

     All Web-CMS vulnerabilities can cause serious damage. This is confirmed by Alibaba Cloud security engineers. Therefore, the priorities of detected Web-CMS vulnerabilities are High and marked in red.

     Note We recommend that you fix Web-CMS vulnerabilities at the earliest opportunity.
   • Handle the vulnerabilities detected by Cloud Firewall

     Security Center uses the Cloud firewall Supports Virtual patches tag to indicate a vulnerability detected by Cloud Firewall. You can click the tag or Protection in the Actions column to go to the Cloud Firewall console to fix the vulnerability. For more information, see Vulnerability prevention.

   • Add a vulnerability to the whitelist

     On the Web CMS tab, you can select the vulnerability you want to add to the whitelist and click Add to Whitelist. After you add a vulnerability to the whitelist, Security Center no longer generates alerts on this vulnerability.

     

     The vulnerability that is added to the whitelist is removed from the vulnerability list on the Web CMS tab. You can click Settings in the upper-right corner of the page to view the vulnerability in the Vul Whitelist section.

     If you want Security Center to detect and generate alerts on a vulnerability that is added to the whitelist, select the vulnerability in the Vul Whitelist section in the Settings panel and click Remove.

     
   • Fix multiple vulnerabilities at a time
     If you fix multiple vulnerabilities at a time, Security Center automatically identifies affected assets and fixes the vulnerabilities on these assets. On the Web CMS tab, you can select the vulnerabilities that you want to fix and click Batch Repair. In the Batch Repair dialog box, view the assets that are affected by the vulnerabilities and click Fix Now.
     Note You can select the vulnerabilities only on the current page. A total of 10, 20, or 50 vulnerabilities can be displayed on each page. Therefore, you can fix a maximum of 50 vulnerabilities at a time.
   • Search for vulnerabilities

     On the Web CMS tab, you can search for vulnerabilities by severity level, asset group, vulnerability status, or vulnerability name. The severity level can be high, medium, or low. The vulnerability status can be handled or unhandled.

     
     Note Fuzzy match is supported for vulnerability search by name.
   • Export vulnerabilities
     On the Web CMS tab, you can click the icon to export and save all detected vulnerabilities to your computer. The vulnerabilities are exported to an Excel file.

     Note The time to export the vulnerabilities varies based on the size of vulnerability data.

Handle vulnerabilities

   • View vulnerability status
     • Handled
       • Handled: The vulnerability is fixed.
       • Ignored: The vulnerability is ignored. Security Center no longer generates alerts on this vulnerability.
       • Invalid: The vulnerability cannot be detected. You may have already deleted the file that contains the vulnerability.
     • Unhandled
       • Unfixed: The vulnerability is not fixed.
       • Fixing: The vulnerability is being fixed.
