# Create Issues from Inferred CVEs

ASM pulls in CVE details from Vulnerability Intelligence and can be configured to create Issues from Inferred CVEs. To create Issues from Inferred CVEs, follow these steps:  

1. In ASM, navigate to **Collections >![](https://storage.googleapis.com/gtidocresources/guides/asm/images/threatprofile_engine_icon_20240509.svg) Settings**.
2. Click **![](https://storage.googleapis.com/gtidocresources/guides/asm/images/threatprofile_engine_icon_20240509.svg)Settings** associated with a Collection. The **Issue Settings** tab opens.
3. Click the **Inferred CVEs** toggle to the on position.

> ℹ️
>
> If the **Inferred CVEs as Issues** option is not enabled, Inferred CVEs are only on the Entity.\
> 4\. Click **![](https://storage.googleapis.com/gtidocresources/guides/asm/images/threatprofile_engine_icon_20240509.svg)Settings** to configure the options that you want to use to create Issues:

* **Create Issue if exploited in the wild**: Exploitation has been observed in the wild.
  * Optional: Assign **Critical** severity to these Issues 
* **Create Issue when exploit exists**: Exploit or POC code is publicly available or underground discussions, alleged selling, or alleged privately held code is observed.
  * Optional: Assign **Critical** severity to these Issues
* **Create Issue when CVSS** **v3 score is above the following**: Choose a minimum score threshold at which to generate Issues.    

```
> ℹ️
>
> Issue severity is based on the CVSS ranges from [NIST NVD](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln-metrics/cvss). 
> 
> | Issue Severity Based on CVSS v3 Score |            |
> | :------------------------------------ | :--------- |
> | **Severity**                          | **Ranges** |
> | Critical                              | 9.0 - 10.0 |
> | High                                  | 7.0 - 8.9  |
> | Medium                                | 4.0 - 6.9  |
> | Low                                   | 0.1 - 3.9  |
> | None (Informational)                  | 0.0        |

```

5. Click **Save**.

* Setting Inferred CVEs as Issues to off prevents new Inferred CVE Issues from being created. Existing Issues initially generated by Inferred CVEs continue to show up on the Issues page as Inactive Issues.
* When toggling this feature **Off**, you must then **Scan Collection** for these changes to take effect.

## Examples of Issues created from Inferred CVEs

Issues created from Inferred CVEs include **Inferred CVE** in their name and a **Potential** Confidence assignment.
