VerifiedRemediating Security Issues

An image with medium-severity vulnerabilities for which no fixes are available is being deployed to the sock-shop namespace. Prisma Cloud is configured for vulnerability management in the organization’s continuous integration (CI) tool and registry.

What happens when this image is deployed from the CI tool to the sock-shop namespace?

Explanation

CVEs that affect the current OS release but have no vendor fix are reported as affected vulnerabilities. Prisma Cloud only suppresses such findings when a vulnerability policy explicitly enables “Apply rule only when vendor fixes are available.” CI build failure and deployed-image blocking are separate policy actions that require configured failure or block thresholds; they are not automatic consequences of medium severity. Therefore, the image is deployed successfully and its vulnerabilities are reported.
