# CVE Viewer

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) is a system for referencing publicly known vulnerabilities by identifiers. The goal of the system is to make it easier to share vulnerability data across stakeholders, including software vendors, tool vendors, security practitioners, and end users.

A *CVE entry* describes a specific known vulnerability. Each CVE entry has an identifier, such as CVE-2020-1234. A *CVE entry* is colloquially known as a *CVE*, and it’s security practitioner parlance for a publicly disclosed vulnerability.

## Search for a specific CVE

You can determine if Prisma Cloud offers coverage for a specific CVE by using the search interface in Console. The CVE ID syntax is:

```
CVE-YYYY-NNNN
```

Where:

| CVE  | CVE-ID prefix.                                                                           |
| ---- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| YYYY | Calendar year.                                                                           |
| NNNN | Numeric digits. This field has a variable length, but the minimum length is four digits. |

To search for a specific vulnerability:

1. Open Console, then go to **Monitor > Vulnerabilities > CVE Viewer**.
2. Enter a CVE ID in the search box.

   For example, enter **CVE-2022-23806**.

   If Prisma Cloud has coverage for the queried vulnerability, details are listed in the results table.

## Allow a CVE

Allowing CVEs is done directly as a policy.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prismacloud.io/admin-guide/33/vulnerability-management/search-cves.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
