Software Vulnerability Manager Enhancements

Expanded Intune Deployment Support for SVM Cloud

SVM Cloud now supports Intune publishing/deployments for both MSI and EXE-based Vendor Patch Module (VPM) packages. Previously restricted to MSI patches, this enhancement significantly broadens application coverage and offers greater flexibility in modern endpoint patch management.

Network Appliance Groups Now Available in the New SVM UI

Feature parity with the legacy UI is improved as the new SVM UI now supports the creation of Target Groups within Network Appliance Groups. These groups can be scanned directly using a Network Appliance Agent, simplifying asset segmentation and scanning workflows within the updated interface.

New IP-Based User Access Restrictions

Under User Management > Create New User, two new options—Restrict On IP Range and Restrict On IP Network—allow administrators to define the specific IP ranges or networks a user can access. These controls ensure users can only view or manage assets within authorized network boundaries, enhancing overall security and compliance.

Enhanced Visibility & Warnings for Digitally Signed Packages

Improvements across both Patch Publisher and the SVM User Interface now offer clearer identification and security guidance regarding digitally signed Vendor Patch Module (VPM) packages. In Patch Publisher, you can filter items using a new Digitally Signed option in Configure View, see a dedicated Digitally Signed property in the Patch Information dialog, and receive a security warning when subscribing to unsigned packages. Similarly, in the SVM UI, a new warning popup appears during the Create Update Package workflow if the selected package is not digitally signed, alerting administrators to potential security risks before they proceed.

Patch Publisher Enhancements -

Support for Config Manager Unified Endpoint Management System

This release introduces the ability to configure and publish SPS and VPM patches directly to the Config Manager Unified Endpoint Management System through Patch Publisher. Once the Config Manager connection is set up, you can publish patches using either Patch Automation or the Create Patch Wizard, allowing for a streamlined and integrated publishing experience across your endpoint management environment.

Enhanced Patch Publisher and AdminStudio Integration

Patch Publisher now integrates more tightly with AdminStudio to reduce manual effort across packaging workflows. SVM packages are automatically assigned to the default AdminStudio workflow (Import + Customization) and marked as Subscribed for automation. Additionally, non‑VPM packages placed in a monitored shared directory can be automatically imported into AdminStudio. After AdminStudio REST access and shared directory paths are configured, both VPM and non‑VPM packages can flow seamlessly into AdminStudio for repackaging and distribution, creating a smoother and more automated pipeline.

Software Vulnerability Manager Enhancements -

Disable Standard Login for Root Accounts When SSO Is Enabled

A new security enhancement allows root users to disable standard login when Single Sign-On (SSO) is active. Enabling this option removes the password‑change functionality, blocks standard login for the root account, and retains the Forgot Password option only if password recovery was already enabled. If password recovery is unavailable or the account becomes locked, access must be restored through a support request. The system also prompts for confirmation before enabling the feature and notifies the user that a temporary password will be emailed, ensuring a secure fallback when switching between SSO and standard authentication.

New “API Access” Permission in User Management

A dedicated API Access permission has been added to User Management under the User Roles & Permissions section. When assigned with Read/Write rights, this permission grants API‑level capabilities while disabling standard API access for the account to ensure secure and controlled integration. Administrators can configure this permission alongside others such as Scanning, Reporting, and Patching, enabling more granular and secure role management.

The SVR December 2025 update 2 is live now.

The update includes important feature enhancements as mentioned below –

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enforced for all Administrator level accounts and above. This enhancement adds an extra layer of security to protect critical user accounts across the platform. During login, administrators must provide a second form of verification such as a one-time pass code or authentication app confirmation in addition to their regular credentials. Users will be prompted to choose a two-factor authentication method (Token or SMS) during setup. If incorrect or incomplete information is entered, a validation error message will guide the user to correct the input. This enhancement prevents unauthorized access even if passwords are compromised, aligns with industry’s best practices, and ensures compliance with organizational security standards.

The update includes important feature enhancements as mentioned below –

Support for Config Manager in Unified Endpoint Management

The update introduces the capability to configure and publish SPS and VPM patches directly to the Config Manager Endpoint Management System. Once the connection to Config Manager is established, patches can be published using either Patch Automation or the Create Patch Wizard, ensuring seamless integration with the specified endpoint management system.

Disable Standard Login for Root Accounts with SSO Enabled

A new option, “Disable Standard Login for yourself,” has been added under Configuration > Settings > SSO Settings. When enabled, standard login for the root account is blocked, and the password change option is removed from the interface. If password recovery was previously enabled, the Forgot Password option remains available; otherwise, users must raise a support ticket if the account becomes locked. This feature applies only when opted in by root users and does not affect other customers unless enabled. The system prompts for confirmation and sends a temporary password to the configured email, ensuring secure access when switching from SSO to standard login.

New API Access Permission in User Management

A new API Access permission is now available under User Management > Create New User within the User Roles & Permissions section. This option appears when assigning Read/Write permissions and grants API-level capabilities while disabling standard API access for the account to maintain security. Administrators can configure this alongside other roles such as Scanning, Reporting, and Patching, providing granular control over user permissions.
