Steps to Address CVE-2022-0001

Apply the Registry Fix for Windows Devices (Intel Processors):
To mitigate CVE-2022-0001, apply the following registry updates:

• This fix is recommended by Microsoft to address the vulnerability.
• Ensure the fix is applied to all affected devices.

Rescan Devices in CYRISMA:

• Once the registry fix is applied, rescan the devices using the CYRISMA platform to check if the vulnerability is cleared.
• Confirm that the registry changes are effective in mitigating the CVE.

Understanding CYRISMA’s Detection Parameters:

• CYRISMA detects CVE-2022-0001 primarily through processor identifiers.
• While the registry fix resolves the issue, CYRISMA may not validate the fix if it does not align with the parameters used in the scan.

Use Manual Mitigation as a Backup:

• If CYRISMA does not automatically clear the vulnerability despite applying the registry fix, consider marking the CVE as mitigated manually in the CYRISMA dashboard.
• Document the steps taken (e.g., registry fix) and reference Microsoft’s official guidance: Microsoft Security Update Guide.

Common Challenges and Solutions

Challenge: CYRISMA still flags CVE-2022-0001 as unresolved after applying the registry fix.
Solution: Verify that the registry keys were applied correctly and ensure the latest Cyrisma update is in use for accurate scanning.

Challenge: Discrepancy between CYRISMA’s detection and Microsoft’s recommendations.
Solution: Use manual mitigation in CYRISMA to mark the CVE resolved, noting the applied fix in your documentation.

Summary

To resolve CVE-2022-0001:

1. Apply the recommended registry fix.
2. Rescan affected devices in CYRISMA.
3. Use manual mitigation if necessary, with documented evidence of the fix.
