An analyst is evaluating a vulnerability management dashboard. The analyst sees that a previously remediated vulnerability has reappeared on a database server. Which of the following is the most likely cause?
A.
The finding is a false positive and should be ignored.
B.
A rollback had been executed on the instance.
C.
The vulnerability scanner was configured without credentials.
D.
The vulnerability management software needs to be updated.
B. A rollback had been executed on the instance.
If a previously remediated vulnerability has reappeared on a database server, it is possible that a rollback had been executed on the instance. A rollback can revert changes made during the remediation process, leading to the reappearance of the vulnerability. This highlights the importance of tracking and managing changes to ensure that vulnerabilities remain remediated after they have been addressed.
A. The finding is a false positive and should be ignored: While possible, it’s not advisable to assume this immediately without further investigation, especially if the vulnerability had been remediated before.
C. The vulnerability scanner was configured without credentials: This could lead to incomplete scanning, but it’s less likely to cause the same previously remediated vulnerability to reappear.
D. The vulnerability management software needs to be updated: While outdated software could miss new vulnerabilities, it wouldn't explain the reappearance of a previously patched vulnerability.
The most likely cause for a previously remediated vulnerability reappearing on a database server is:
B. A rollback had been executed on the instance.
A rollback could have restored an earlier state of the system, which included the vulnerability. This can happen if patches or updates that fixed the vulnerability were not reapplied after the rollback.
