Blackpoint Vulnerability Management

Blackpoint Vulnerability Management

CompassOne exposes four exposure lenses against a tenant's assets: host-level vulnerabilities, scan history, dark-web leaks, and internet-facing external exposures. This skill covers all four and how to combine them into a prioritized remediation view.

Anti-triggers

• Patching, suppressing, or marking a finding fixed — the status values (fixed, ignored, false_positive) are filters on a read, not actions. Nothing here writes; remediation happens in the CompassOne portal or the patching tool.
• Another vendor's vulnerability view — sentinelone-vulnerabilities and sentinelone-misconfigurations cover different scanners with different CVE coverage. Do not merge severity counts across products.
• Live threat activity — a vulnerability is a latent weakness; something actually happening is a detection, in blackpoint-incident-response.
• Which host a CVE lands on — asset detail and topology are blackpoint-asset-inventory.

API Tools

Filters That Matter

blackpoint_vulnerabilities_list accepts:

• tenant_id, asset_id — scope
• severity — low, medium, high, critical
• status — open, fixed, ignored, false_positive
• cve_id — pivot on a specific CVE
• patch_available — is a fix published?
• exploit_available — is it weaponized in the wild?

The fix-now cohort is the intersection: severity in {high, critical}, status: open, exploit_available: true, patch_available: true — a known, weaponized, fixable problem that has not been fixed.

blackpoint_vulnerabilities_darkweb_list exposure types: credentials, documents, data_breach, malware.

blackpoint_vulnerabilities_external_list exposure types: open_port, vulnerable_service, certificate_issue, misconfiguration.

blackpoint_vulnerabilities_scans_list status values: pending, running, completed, failed.

Common Workflows

Prioritized remediation list for a tenant

1. Check blackpoint_vulnerabilities_scans_list — if the last completed scan is stale or recent scans failed, say so; it caps confidence in everything below.
2. Pull blackpoint_vulnerabilities_list for the tenant.
3. Filter to the fix-now cohort and present it first.
4. List remaining open criticals/highs (especially no-patch ones) separately with a compensating-controls note.

Dark-web exposure check

1. blackpoint_vulnerabilities_darkweb_list for the tenant.
2. For credentials exposures, recommend forced password resets and an MFA enforcement check.
3. Flag data_breach and malware exposures for follow-up.

External attack-surface review

1. blackpoint_vulnerabilities_external_list for the tenant.
2. Group by exposure type; treat vulnerable_service and open_port on management ports as highest priority.
3. Pair with certificate_issue findings for a complete edge view.

Edge Cases

• Stale scans — never present a vulnerability rollup without checking scan recency first; old data misleads the reader.
• No-patch criticals — separate these from the fix-now list; they need compensating controls, not a patch ticket.
• Read-only — remediation actions happen outside CompassOne; the MCP cannot mark findings fixed.

Best Practices

• Risk-weight, do not just severity-sort: exploitability and patch availability change the priority order materially.
• Combine all four lenses for QBRs — host, scan, dark-web, external tell complementary stories.
• Always cite CVE IDs and asset IDs so a finding can be re-pulled.
