CVE Performance & Usability Improvements: What’s New in 26.1

In the latest release, Forward Networks significantly optimized the CVE (vulnerability) experience—both in performance and in how engineers investigate exposure and risk across their network. The changes focus on faster load times, clearer filtering, and more actionable context when you’re analyzing which devices
 

Clickable Risk Metrics with Live Filtering

The high-level CVE widgets (e.g., “devices receiving traffic from the Internet,” “known exploited,” “unconfirmed vulnerabilities”) are now fully interactive. Clicking any of these automatically applies the corresponding filters to the device and CVE tables, instantly narrowing the view to what actually matters.

Those filters also persist when you drill down into CVE detail pages, so your investigative context is never lost.
 

Unified CVE View Across Multiple Vendors

Instead of duplicating the same CVE multiple times (once per vendor), a single CVE entry now shows all affected vendors and platforms together—for example, Juniper, Cisco, and Palo Alto in one consolidated row.

For each vendor, you can see:

• Whether the device is possibly vulnerable
   
• Whether configuration-level analysis is available
   
• How many devices are impacted

This removes noise and makes cross-vendor impact assessment far clearer.
