Suppressing a CVE for a Specific Machine:
Log in to the CYRISMA dashboard.
Navigate to Vulnerability Scan and select Scan History.
Select the machine containing the CVE to suppress.
In the vulnerability list, find the CVE and click the three-dot (•••) menu.
Select Suppress.
This suppresses the CVE for the selected machine only.
Provide a Justification for suppression (optional).
Click Confirm or Save to apply.
Globally Suppressing a CVE Across All Machines
To suppress a CVE globally across all machines within an instance:
From Vulnerability Management, navigate to Scan History.
Select any machine where the CVE appears.
Find the CVE in question, click the three-dot (•••) menu, and select Globally Suppress.
Provide a justification (optional).

Note:
Suppression durations are set by default (typically 30 or 90 days). After the suppression period expires, the CVE reappears for review. This period is configurable under Admin → System Config → Suppression Days.
