Title

Review Vulnerability Reports

Control

Agencies SHOULD review the information provided in vulnerability reports at appropriate and reasonable intervals commensurate with the expectations and risk posture indicated by their Authorization to Operate, and SHOULD use automated processing and filtering of machine readable information from cloud service providers.

Discussion

FedRAMP recommends that agencies only review overdue and accepted vulnerabilities Potential Agency Impact N-rating > 2 unless the cloud service provider recommends mitigations or the service is included in a higher risk federal information system. Furthermore, accepted vulnerabilities generally only need to be reviewed when they are added or during an updated risk assessment due to changes in the agency's use or authorization.
