Indicate how often you plan on updating the mappings
to reflect new CVE versions and describe your approach to keeping reasonably
current with CVE versions when mapping them to your repository (recommended):
An updated version of Skybox View Dictionary is released to our customers
once a week. Between each Dictionary version release, our content team
keeps track of latest CVE versions and updates the necessary information.
6) Map Currency Update Time <CR_5.3>

Candidate Support Questions
11) Candidates Versus Entries Indication
<CR_6.1>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
how you indicate that candidates are not accepted CVE entries (required):
Skybox View Dictionary maintains the differentiation between CVE Candidates
and accepted entries by keeping the CVE/CAN ID system – candidates
appear in our dictionary as CAN IDs, while accepted entries appear as
CVE IDs. When a candidate is turned into an accepted entry, we update
the entry in the Dictionary.
12) Candidates Versus Entries Explanation
<CR_6.2>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how the difference between candidates and entries is explained
to your customers (recommended):
At the moment there is no such explanation in the guide.
13) Candidate to Entry Promotion <CR_6.3>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
your policy for changing candidates into entries within your capability
and describe where and how this is communicated to your customers (recommended):
Skybox View content team tracks changes in CVE entries on a weekly basis,
and once we discover that an entry was updated from CAN to CVE, we update
the data in our Dictionary. The most recent dictionary version including
the CAN to CVE changes is published weekly on our website for our customers.
14) Candidate and Entry Search
Support <CR_6.4>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's
ability to look for candidates and entries by using just the YYYY-NNNN
portion of the CVE names (recommended):
The User Manual provides an explanation for basic usage of the search
function, which includes this ability as well, although not specifically
mentioned.
15) Search Support for Promoted Candidates
<CR_6.5>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how a customer can find the explanation of your search function's
support for retrieving the CVE entry for a candidate that is no longer
a candidate (recommended):
There is no such search function, since CAN entries which turn into CVE
are updated in our database on a weekly basis.
16) Candidate Mapping Currency
Indication <CR_6.6>
If CVE candidates are supported or used, explain
where and how you tell your users how up-to-date your candidate information
is (recommended):
Since Skybox View provides a weekly update of the Dictionary, it is accepted
that the data we provide is as updated as the last CVE version published
during that week, if there was such version. The information about the
latest dictionary version installed can be viewed under the 'About Skybox
View' option in the Help menu.
Type-Specific Capability Questions
Tool Questions
17) Finding Tasks Using CVE Names <CR_A.2.1>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a
user can locate tasks in the tool by looking for their associated CVE
name (required):
Vulnerabilities (elements) that have CVE cross reference can be found
under the Analyses tab (analyses – views of the model's data derived
from the database), where for each vulnerability there are several fields
displayed – textual description, SkyBox View ID, CVE Catalog ID,
severity and other fields. A search function can be used on each such
field, and when choosing to search by the CVE Catalog ID field, the specific
vulnerability that is related to that CVE/CAN id will be displayed.
18) Finding CVE Names Using Elements
in Reports <CR_A.2.2>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how,
for reports that identify individual security elements, the tool allows
the user to determine the associated CVE names for the individual security
elements in the report (required):
The CVE Catalog ID field is displayed by default for each Vulnerability
(element) that is displayed in Skybox View. The CVE cross reference can
be viewed either in the main display table of the analyses, or in a more
detailed windows that can be opened for each vulnerability.
19) Getting a List of CVE Names Associated with Tasks <CR_A.2.4>
Give detailed examples and explanations of how a
user can obtain a listing of all of the CVE names that are associated
with the tool's tasks (recommended):
It is possible to view a list of all existing vulnerabilities (elements)
in the product under the Vulnerabilities by Type analysis. One of the
fields displayed in this analysis is the CVE Catalog ID reference field.
