SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill ensures CVE identifiers are properly formatted and validated against Red Hat Lightspeed, and it confirms whether automated remediation playbooks are available before proceeding with remediation planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

CVE format validation: Validate the CVE ID format before MCP tool usage.
CVE metadata retrieval: Retrieve CVE details from Red Hat Lightspeed, including severity and remediation status.
Remediation availability assessment: Determine whether an automated playbook is available for remediation.
Integration with workflows: Integrates with the sre-agents:remediator to drive end-to-end remediation planning.

Quick Start

Provide a CVE identifier (e.g., CVE-2024-1234) to validate, and the skill will check format, retrieve metadata from Lightspeed, and assess automated remediation availability.

FAQPage Schema

How do I validate a CVE identifier against Red Hat Lightspeed?▼

To validate a CVE identifier against Red Hat Lightspeed, you provide the CVE ID so the system can check its format, retrieve metadata including severity, and assess automated remediation availability before proceeding with planning.

What CVE metadata is retrieved during the validation process?▼

The CVE validation process retrieves metadata from Red Hat Lightspeed, including the vulnerability's severity assessment, remediation status, and whether an automated playbook is available for remediation.

Can I check if an automated remediation playbook exists before fixing a CVE?▼

Yes, you can check if an automated remediation playbook exists for a CVE by validating it against Red Hat Lightspeed, which assesses remediation availability and integrates with the remediator for end-to-end playbook generation.

Does CVE format validation require specific MCP tools?▼

Yes, CVE format validation requires using the get_cve MCP tool with include_details and validate_format parameters, and it performs prerequisite validation with the mcp-lightspeed-validator to ensure identifiers are proper.

When do I need to validate CVEs in a remediation workflow?▼

You need to validate CVEs in a remediation workflow before proceeding with remediation work, ensuring identifiers are properly formatted, their existence is verified, and severity is assessed to confirm automated remediation options are known.

What criteria are used for CVSS scoring and vulnerability logic checks?▼

CVSS scoring and vulnerability logic checks use criteria from consulting vulnerability-logic and cvss-scoring documentation, ensuring proper severity assessment and validation during the CVE format checking and metadata retrieval process.
