201819 reads:

Recommendations

• This vulnerability is mitigated in Horizon Connection Server 7.5.1

But we are clearly on 8.8.0.21073894 (see attached image)
 
How can this be cleared without me muting the finding?

It is possible that your current version has already fixed the vulnerabilities that the recommended versions address. If so, the upgrade recommendations might be erroneous or outdated, or they might not recognize your current version as secure.

To resolve this without ignoring the finding, you could:

- Verify the Vulnerabilities: Check the advisories (VMSA-2019-0014 and VMSA-2018-0019) to see if the vulnerabilities they mention are fixed in your current version (8.8.0.21073894). You can do this by following the advisory links and comparing them with the release notes or security advisories for your current version.
- Contact Support: If your current version has fixed the vulnerabilities, report this issue to VMware support. They might need to update their vulnerability detection mechanism to recognize your current version as secure.
- Update the Detection Mechanism: If you can control the vulnerability detection mechanism, you might need to update it to recognize your current version as secure.

Hey,

Got this notice about upgrading for vulnerabilities 201914 and 201819. The suggestions say we need Horizon client 5.2.0 and Horizon Connection Server 7.5.1, but we're already on version 8.8.0.21073894 

Trying to figure out how to clear this without just muting it. Thinking of reaching out to VMware support, giving them the lowdown on our current version, and getting the scoop on whether these vulnerabilities still apply. Wanna make sure we've got the right info and that the Skyline tool didn't miss something.

Any thoughts?
