    Two of the new features added to ITMS 8.6 RU3 (released on August 10, 2022) required changes to both the product and the Windows patch management data feed:

    1. The ability to filter the Compliance by CVE ID report by the CVSS v2 or CVSS v3 score assigned to a vulnerability associated with a particular CVE ID
    2. The ability to distribute and report on compliance regarding software updates that cannot be automatically downloaded from the vendor without user intervention


    The product changes required to support these features were included in the ITMS 8.6 RU3 release.  The changes to the Windows patch management data feed required to support these features were made as part of version 7.3.1088.


    A list of the software products and bulletins added to the Windows patch management data feed in support of the second feature can be seen here.


    If you previously downloaded the installation package for updates associated with these products or bulletins and still have them available, you can use ITMS to distribute and report on compliance for such updates if you are using ITMS 8.6 RU3 and a version of the Windows patch management data feed greater than or equal to 7.3.1088.  For more information, please see here.


    If you are using a version of ITMS prior to 8.6 RU3 or a version of the Windows patch management data feed prior to 7.3.1088, you will not see these software products or bulletins in the console.
