## Brazil Early Availability {#ariaid-title2}

This release adds a Change Request approval path to scheduled patch deployments, and separates risk modification from exception requests.

### What's new {#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10-new}

[Schedule patch deployments through Change Request approval](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=vr-ws-patch-schedule-change-request&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-security-management&ft:locale=en-US){#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10-new-feature-1}
:   Route patch deployments scheduled from remediation tasks through Change Request approval for Microsoft SCCM and HCL BigFix integrations. This lets you align patch deployment for critical vulnerabilities with your
    organization's change management approval process, and optionally deploy the patch automatically once the change is approved.

[Modify risk rating in bulk](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=sem-modify-risk&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-security-management&ft:locale=en-US){#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10-new-feature-2}
:   Vulnerability Admins can now modify risk rating directly on individual or bulk findings across host, application, or container vulnerable item, or on a remediation task without an approval workflow. Remediation Owners
    can also modify risk ratings, with changes routed through a change approval process. Associating a compensating control with the change is optional for all roles.

### What's changed {#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10-changed}

Risk rating options are no longer part of exception or deferral requests{#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10-changed-feature-1}
:   Changing a risk rating is no longer available from the Request Exception dialog, or from the Bulk Edit dialog by selecting Mitigating Control in Place as a deferral reason. Risk rating and
    compensating control fields have been removed from both. Use Modify risk or Request risk modification, according to your role, to change a risk rating instead for individual records
    or in bulk.
{#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-10-changed-list}

## Brazil Early Availability {#ariaid-title3}

This release automatically re-evaluates remediation tasks when a vulnerable item's preferred solution changes.

### What's new {#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-09__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-09-new}

[Automatic re-evaluation of remediation tasks on preferred solution change](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=vulnerability-groups&version=brazil&pubname=brazil-security-management&ft:locale=en-US){#secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-09__secops-vuln-resp-rn-2026-09-new-feature-1}
:   Remediation tasks can now automatically re-evaluate vulnerable items when their Preferred solution changes, so items are regrouped into the appropriate remediation task without manual intervention. This helps keep
    remediation tasks accurate and reduces manual cleanup.
