Explanation

In a Vulnerability Protection profile, the Exceptions tab is where administrators can view and configure per-threat overrides, including actions tied to specific CVEs or Threat IDs. The main Rules tab sets broad category-level actions (block, alert, reset, etc.), but individual CVE-level actions - including any custom exceptions that override the default - are found exclusively in the Exceptions tab. The CVE column in the Exceptions tab allows searching or filtering by CVE number to quickly locate the specific threat and confirm what action the firewall will take.
