  • accepted risk : the risk is acknowledged but not remediated for now.
  • resolved : remediated and no longer detected.
  • Recurred An unremediated item is detected again in a rescan.

Severity · priority

The risk level of a finding. Shown with 6 fixed-color levels.

The SBOM · License screen shows the license risk of each component.
