*Title:*
Metadata Standardization for SCM CIS Linux Checklists.

At BigFix, we continuously invest in improving the consistency, accuracy,
and reliability of compliance content. As part of this effort, we have
standardized the metadata for CIS Linux checklists, ensuring correct source
IDs, severity, and category for more consistent compliance assessment and
easier content management.

*What’s New? *

●      We’ve updated the metadata for CIS Linux checklist Fixlets to ensure
accurate source IDs, severity, and category

●      These changes do not affect Fixlets logic, remediations or
compliance results. Only the displayed metadata has been improved for
clarity and consistency in reporting.
