Certalert Investigator: CVE alerts on RHEL-based systems, read-only

2501's Certalert Investigator checks whether a vulnerability alert is really exploitable on your RHEL-based hosts, reclassifies its severity with evidence and changes nothing.

A critical vulnerability alert is checked read-only by 2501 host by host: a service open to the internet goes straight to a person, a service reachable only from its host has its severity lowered, and another host turns out not to run the affected version, with nothing patched

SPECIALTY_BRIEFING

// WHAT 2501 DOES

Certalert Investigator is 2501's read-only specialty for vulnerability alerts on RHEL-based systems: it works out whether a flagged vulnerability can really be exploited where it runs, and reclassifies the alert's severity with evidence. It never patches, restarts or changes anything.

A scanner flags a critical vulnerability, and the score says nothing about your estate. Is the affected version running? Can anyone beyond the host reach it? Checked by hand, host by host, the one exposed system waits in the same queue as the harmless ones.

What 2501 does

The Certalert specialty takes each alert from your ticketing system. It finds where the affected software runs, in a Kubernetes pod, a container, a system service or a plain process, and whether the running version is really vulnerable. It establishes who can reach it, from the whole internet down to the host alone, and what protects it, such as authentication. Each alert comes back with a reclassified severity, the reason, the evidence and a recommendation. Severity comes down only on solid evidence, and stays up when in doubt.

Scope map of 2501's Certalert Investigator: read-only, it finds whether the affected software runs in a Kubernetes pod, a container, a system service or a plain process, checks the running version, who can reach it and what protects it, and reclassifies the alert's severity with evidence; urgent cases go straight to a person, patching stays your team's decision, and it never patches, restarts or changes anything.

You stay in control

  • Read-only by design: no patches, no restarts, no configuration changes. Lock the specialty to investigate only and a second engine enforces it, blocking any command that would change a system.
  • Patching stays your decision: it recommends, and your team decides what to patch and when.
  • On-prem, cloud or hybrid: 2501 runs wherever you do, including fully air-gapped on-prem networks.

Frequently asked

Which systems does it cover? RHEL-based Linux such as Rocky Linux, including software running in containers and Kubernetes on those systems.

What goes straight to a person? A vulnerable service open to the internet without authentication, signs of exploitation, an actively exploited vulnerability, or a case it cannot settle with confidence.
