Scope of Mutes
Kiuwa Insights lets you to mute a specific CVE over a component(s) (i.e. this specific component should not raise this specific CVE)
| Info |
|---|
You cannot completely mute a CVE. You can mute a CVS CVE over a specific component(s), but the CVE remains active and any new component affected by that CVE will still be reported. |
Muting a vulnerabiltiy over a component can be applied to several scopes
Mute Scope | Precedence | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
ComponentGlobal | 1 | The CVE muted applies globally to the selected component in , i.e. to all the applications that component may appear. |
App-CompApplication | 2 | The CVE muted applies to the selected component only in the specified application. Same component in other applications remains flagged as vulnerable by that CVE. |
Precedence column means the apllicability of the mute in case of conflicts, being applied the case with higher precedence value.
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
Mutes are applied retroactively, i.e. mutes will be applied not only to future analyses but also to past analyses |
How to mute CVE vulnerabilities
You can mute at different locations:
- Components tab (selecting a component row, and clicking on the Mute Vulnerabilities component's menu option)
- Security tab (selecting a CVE row, and clicking on the Mute Vulnerabilities menu option of any of the components affected by that CVE)

You can access Global Mute Admin by selecting Mute Vulnerabilities option at Components / Security tab's hamburguer menu.
Mute Vulnerabilities allows you to manage mutesbased mutes based on Vulnerabilities and/or Components
By Vulnerability
When "By Vulnerability" tab is selected, the full list of Vulnerabilities discovered through all the applications of your Kiuwan account is displayed
Clicking on a CVE will open the list of componets affected by that vulnerability.
Clicking on Modify button of a component will open Mute Vulnerabilities dialog.
Then, you can decide to mute the vulnerability for the selected component either for all aplications, for a set of apps or for only one application.
After mute, you will see the scope fof the mute at Mute Vulnerabilities tab.
By Component
When "By Component" tab is selected, the full list of Componentes affected by some CVE through all the applications of your Kiuwan account is displayed
Clicking on a Component will open the list of CVEs found for that component.
Clicking on Modify button of a CVE will open Mute Vulnerabilities dialog.
Then, you can decide to mute the vulnerability for the selected component either for all aplications, for a set of apps or for only one application.
After mute, you will see the scope fof the mute at Mute Vulnerabilities tab.
Muting at Component tab

After clicking on Save you will see the muted vulnerability greyed when opening the component.
Muting at Security tab
You can mute from Security tab.
Just click on a Vulenrability Vulnerability and its details will be displayed. AlosAlso, the list of components affected by the vulnerability is displayed.
If there exists a mute on some component, the component will appear grayed and the reason of the mute.
In the image you can see that the first mute is "Global" (there's a global mute for this component and CVE, i.e. it's muted for all the applications of the Kiuwan account), but for the second component the mute is "Application" (i.e. the mute only affects to this CVE for that component on the current application.
There's a special case (as you can see below). It happenns when there are 2 mutes for that CVE-component: it's muted by a Global mute and also by an Application mute. Then, there are two mutes, i.e. its muted by two reasons.
Whatever be the mute reson, just Just select the Mute Vulnerabilties from the dropdown menu at the right of a specific Component.
