Whitelisting Vulnerability Scanners In ESMC/EEAV7

[InfosecAtom 0]

I am getting these alerts from our vulnerability scanner in ESMC, despite having created an IDS exception policy to not alert or log on scans from the vulnerability scanner. Am I supposed to be creating the exception elsewhere to avoid all endpoints filling my detections log with all these events?

Is the vulnerability CVE-2008-4250 actually patched on the machine? Please provide ELC logs from the machine that reported the attack.

It was a Windows 10 endpoint, so it would not be vulnerable. It was flagging only on the attempt. I figured out what the issue was, I falsely believed that program name was supposed to be a IDS exception rule name. Removing all input from the program name field resolved my issue.

I would not create any exclusions for these detections. The source machine may be running a malicious code even if both machines were patched against the exploited vulnerability.
