General Capability Questions

Product Accessibility <CR_2.4>

Provide a short description of how and where your capability is made available to your customers and the public (required):

Metasploit Pro is enterprise-grade software for security professionals who specialize in penetration testing and require an advanced solution for multi-level attacks that enables them to get deeper into networks more efficiently.

Mapping Questions

Map Currency Indication <CR_5.1>

Describe how and where your capability indicates the most recent CVE version used to create or update its mappings (required):

The Modules tab of the product UI indicates will display the exploits most recently disclosed first. Exploit modules include CVE Identifiers, when available and are updated to include CVE Identifiers when they become available for a specific vulnerability. Our modules only include the identifier itself, not the descriptive text for a given CVE.

Map Currency Update Approach <CR_5.2>

Indicate how often you plan on updating the mappings to reflect new CVE versions and describe your approach to keeping reasonably current with CVE versions when mapping them to your repository (required):

We validate our CVE mappings with each weekly updates and correct any mappings that may have changed. Since CVE Identifiers that have been accepted are normally static, we rarely need to change these references.

Map Currency Update Time <CR_5.3>

Describe how and where you explain to your customers the timeframe they should expect an update of your capability’s mappings to reflect newly available CVE content (required):

We validate our CVE mappings with each weekly updates and correct any mappings that may have changed. Since CVE Identifiers that have been accepted are normally static, we rarely need to change these references.

Map Content Selection Criteria <CR_5.4>

Describe the criteria used for determining the relevance of a given CVE Identifier to your Capability (required):

We develop exploits. These exploits usually correlate to a known vulnerability, which often has an assigned CVE identifier. If a CVE Identifier is available, we include this ID within the module file.

Map Currency Update Mechanism <CR_5.4>

Describe the mechanism used for reviewing CVE for content changes (required):

During each weekly update build, we review all new modules and verify that the existing modules point to valid references.

Map Content Source <CR_5.5>

Describe the source of your CVE content (required):

During each weekly update build, we review all new modules and verify that the existing modules point to valid references.
