Vulnerability Explorer Using the Console

This document describes the operator workflow for triaging findings in the Console. It is intentionally evidence-first and audit-oriented.

Workflow (Typical)

  1. Start from the findings list filtered to the tenant/environment you care about.
  2. Open a finding to review:
    • Verdict and “why” summary
    • Effective VEX status and issuer provenance
    • Reachability/impact signals (when available)
    • Policy gate and explain trace
  3. Record a triage action (assign/comment/mitigation/exception) with justification.
  4. Export an evidence bundle when review, escalation, or offline verification is required.

What to Expect in a Finding View

  • Clear tenant context and artifact identifiers
  • Evidence rail (SBOM, VEX, advisories, reachability, attestations)
  • History/timeline of state changes and actions (append-only)
  • Copyable identifiers (finding ID, digests, correlation IDs)

Offline / Air-Gap Notes

  • When operating from Offline Kit snapshots, the Console should surface snapshot identity and staleness budgets.
  • Evidence bundle export is the primary bridge between online and offline review.
