Python Update Recommendation Not Desapearing from Microsoft Vulnerability Management list

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management is recommending to update Python in my Azure VM Machines since version 3.9 has some critical vulnerabilities.

 

We did the update to version 3.12 but only the Windows 2019 Datacenter machine is not appearing as Exposed Device anymore.

 

The procedure to update Python in all machines was the same but the Windows 2016 Datacenter VM´s remains in the Exposed Device list.

 

Because Python relies on Anaconda, it is not possible to remove the older version completely. The strange thing is why the same proceduro to update the software is seen as diferent by Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management apparently.

 

Any advice is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance
