Patent attributes
A method or system for automatically detecting vulnerabilities. The system obtains an identifier associated with a vulnerability and one or more vulnerability detection parameters associated with the vulnerability. The system also obtains a script based in part on the one or more vulnerability detection parameters. The system then periodically executes the script to determine whether the vulnerability has been remediated or reintroduced. Responsive to determining that the vulnerability has been remediated, the system transmits a request to a vulnerability tracking system to resolve a security alert. Responsive to determining that the vulnerability has been reintroduced, the system transmits a request to the vulnerability tracking system to reactivate the security alert.
