# Package Vulnerable Update

## Requirements

* Linux Control Center 2.10.X or higher

## Overview

The **Package Vulnerable Update** action updates packages that were identified as vulnerable from a scan performed by the **7 Vulndb API** of LCC or through integration with **Tenable Security Center** or **Tenable Vulnerability Manager**.

## Objective

The purpose of this document is to demonstrate how to use the **Package Vulnerable Update** action in LCC.

## Identifying Vulnerable Packages with 7 Vulndb API

{% hint style="info" %}
In order for LCC to identify which package is vulnerable due to being outdated, it is necessary to run the **7 Vulndb API scan**.
{% endhint %}

\- Follow the step-by-step guide at the link below to run \*\*7 Vulndb API\*\*:\

7. With this action, some vulnerabilities that can be mitigated simply by updating packages will no longer pose a risk to your environment!

Based on this information, it is possible to implement some security measures such as:

* Update the package
* Proactive monitoring
* Freeze the package version until the version issue is investigated
* Vulnerability management
* Backup and recovery

Although not limited to these, these measures aim to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and promote a safer environment.
