# Actionable Guidance for Rapid7 # Generated: 2026-01-29 12:49:16 # Step 1: Navigate to InsightVM Console → Vulnerabilities → Filter # Purpose: Isolate assets affected by the specific CISA KEV vulnerabilities for WinRAR, SolarWinds, and Fortinet. # Expected: A filtered list of critical vulnerabilities. Use the query: `vulnerability.categories CONTAINS 'CISA Known Exploited' AND (vulnerability.title CONTAINS 'WinRAR' OR vulnerability.title CONTAINS 'SolarWinds' OR vulnerability.title CONTAINS 'Fortinet')` to display only the relevant, high-risk flaws. # Step 2: Navigate to InsightVM Console → Projects → Create a Project → Static # Purpose: Operationalize the remediation by assigning specific patching tasks to IT/Engineering teams based on the filtered view created in step 1. # Expected: A generated Remediation Project containing the specific solutions (patches/upgrades) for the identified assets, with assigned owners and due dates aligned with critical SLA windows (e.g., 48 hours). # Step 3: Navigate to InsightVM Console → Dashboards → Default Dashboard → Add Card → 'Real Risk Score of Assets' # Purpose: Visualize the risk reduction impact and monitor the specific threat landscape for the affected vendors. # Expected: A visual representation of the 'Real Risk' score associated with the WinRAR, SolarWinds, and Fortinet assets, allowing you to track the score decrease as patching occurs. # Verification Steps: # - Execute a targeted credentialed scan on the affected Asset Group # Expected: The specific CVEs for WinRAR, SolarWinds, and Fortinet no longer appear in the vulnerability results for those assets, and the asset's risk score decreases significantly. # - Review Remediation Project Status in InsightVM # Expected: The status of the solutions within the created Project transitions from 'Open' to 'Closed/Fixed' as the Insight Agent reports back new state data.
