# Vulnerability Explorer Overview (Detailed)
|
||
|
||
The Vulnerability Explorer is the evidence-linked triage surface that brings together SBOM facts, advisory/VEX evidence, reachability signals, policy explainability, and operator decisions into a single auditable workflow.
|
||
|
||
This document complements the high-level guide `docs/VULNERABILITY_EXPLORER_GUIDE.md` with additional detail and cross-links.
|
||
|
||
## Core Objects
|
||
|
||
- **Finding record:** the current enriched view of a vulnerability for a specific artifact/context (tenant, artifact/image digest, policy version).
|
||
- **History:** append-only state transitions suitable for audit and replay.
|
||
- **Triage actions:** operator actions (assignment, comment, mitigation note, exception request) with provenance.
|
||
- **Evidence references:** stable pointers to evidence objects (SBOM slices, VEX observations/linksets, reachability proofs, explain traces, attestations).
|
||
|
||
## Key Properties
|
||
|
||
- **Narrative-first:** default view answers “Can I ship? If not, why? What’s the smallest safe change?”
|
||
- **Proof-linked:** every important fact links to evidence (no “trust the UI”).
|
||
- **Quiet by default, never silent:** suppression/muting is reversible and auditable.
|
||
- **Offline-ready:** evidence bundles are verifiable without online lookups.
