More About Security Vulnerabilities Associated with an SBOM Part

The Vulnerabilities bar graph, displayed for a given SBOM part in certain locations of the SBOM Management user interface, breaks down the security-vulnerability totals by severity for the part.

When you click this graph, the Vulnerabilities: <SBOM part> slideout opens, showing a grid of the security vulnerabilities currently associated with the part and providing details for each vulnerability listed. The vulnerabilities are sorted in descending order by their CVSS V3.x score.

Note that the Vulnerabilities bar graph that you clicked to open this slideout for a given SBOM part is redisplayed at the top of the slideout to provide context as you examine the part’s vulnerabilities. (By design, the graph is not hyperlinked here as it is when displayed in other locations for the part.)
