Prioritise vulnerabilities

Version 1.7 of BOMnipotent brings a severity filter and improved CSAF matching.

To analyse and fix all vulnerabilities reported for a product is a noble goal, but not always a realistic one. Some ecosystems involve so many dependencies with so many small issues, that the resources for a complete audit would not be a good investement.

Instead, a subset of scrutinised issues has to be selected. To assist with this, BOMnipotent offers the “min-severity” filter for the “vulnerability” command, beginning with version 1.7. It displays only the vulnerabilites that have at least a certain severity or score.

In a completely sepatare development, the matching algorithm between BOM and CSAF documents has been improved.

The full changelog can, as always, be found in the documentation.
