Check summary
What this check verifies
A KEV-listed CVE has KB articles in the Windows Update catalog that are not covered by any active Autopatch deployment.
Why it matters
CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog tracks CVEs with confirmed in-the-wild exploitation. When the deployment service has the fix available but no deployment targets it, every device in the tenant remains exposed to a CVE attackers are actively using. This is the highest-priority class of patch gap.
How to fix it
Open the Intune admin center (Devices -> Windows -> Windows updates -> Deployments) and create or amend an Autopatch deployment that includes the listed KB articles. Pair with an expedite policy if the affected products are internet-facing. CISA KEV deadlines (BOD 22-01) are 14 days for federal agencies; treat them as a maximum for everyone else.
Siemserva flags every tenant where this check fails and, with Senserva Trustworthy AI remediation, can propose a validated fix you approve before it applies.
